The University of British Columbia offers Vantage One Excellence Award for international students to study in Canada. Awards are available to pursue the undergraduate programme in the fields of endeavor such as the performing arts, sports, debating or creative writing, or external academic competitions and examinations.
Awards ranging in value up to the full cost of the student’s academic program and living costs are offered to students beginning their undergraduate studies at UBC in the UBC Vantage One Program.
UBC recognizes the academic achievement of outstanding students from around the world by devoting more than $10 million CAD annually to awards, scholarships, and other forms of financial support for international undergraduate students.
The University of British Columbia is a global center for research and teaching, consistently ranked among the 40 best universities in the world. Since 1915, UBC’s West Coast spirit has embraced innovation and challenged the status quo.
