Scholarship Benefits
The value of your Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award is proportional to your financial need. Financial need is determined by totaling tuition, fees, and living costs, and subtracting the financial contribution you and your family can make each year. A standard needs assessment is based on the financial information provided by you and your family.
Your award may be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study or to degree completion – whichever comes first – provided you achieve satisfactory academic standing in your faculty, continue to demonstrate financial need, and maintain your Canadian study permit (student visa).
Eligibility Criteria
• You must be an international student who will be studying in Canada on a Canadian study permit.
• You must be entering UBC from a recognized secondary school or transferring from your first year at a post-secondary college or other university.
• You must have graduated from high school no earlier than the month of June two years prior to the academic year you are applying to. For example, applicants for 2023 must have graduated from high school no earlier than 2022.
• You must be applying for your first undergraduate degree.
• You must demonstrate superior academic achievement (achieve all As or equivalent standards).
• You must demonstrate a level of financial need that would otherwise prevent you from pursuing a UBC degree.
• You must meet UBC’s admission requirements, including general and degree-specific requirements and the English Language Admission Standard.
