Recommended awards
Thanks to the generosity of external donors and UBC faculties, the University is able to offer many awards to undergraduate students after their first year of study. These may be awarded in the form of scholarships, prizes, fellowships and other awards.
Individual faculties are responsible for recommending their students for these awards. They base their recommendations on a range of factors, such as academic achievement, leadership, UBC involvement, and participation on varsity athletic teams.
Tax information
Receiving an award means that you'll be required to submit a T4A form at tax time. Make sure your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or Individual Tax Number (ITN) is updated on the Student Service Centre (SSC) as soon as possible so that we can process your T4A form. Applying for the ITN can take up to two months, so apply early.
