Eligible applicants study on a Canadian study permit, enter directly from secondary school for a first undergraduate degree, show superior academics, and demonstrate significant financial need. Award value is based on assessed need. Requires school nomination, a UBC admission application, financial documents, and four short essays (about 150 to 250 words each). The International Scholars Program application is due November 15.
