You must meet all the following requirements to apply:
To retain eligibility for international student awards, students should be continuing as an international student. Change in citizenship status or tuition fee rate will affect award eligibility and may result in recovery of award funding.
Thanks to the generosity of external donors and UBC faculties, UBC offers many awards to undergraduate students after their first year of study. These awards may be in the form of scholarships, prizes, fellowships, and more.
Individual faculties are responsible for recommending their students for these awards. Their recommendations are based on a range of factors, such as academic achievement, leadership, UBC involvement, and participation on varsity athletic teams.
If you receive an award, you're required to submit a T4A form at tax time.
Make sure your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or your Individual Tax Number (ITN) is updated in your Student Service Centre (SSC) as soon as possible so UBC can process your T4A form.
If you haven’t applied for your SIN or ITN, do so as early as possible. It can take 2 months to process your ITN.
