Outstanding International Student Award

Outstanding International Student Award

Each year, Outstanding International Student (OIS) Awards are offered to meritorious international students entering undergraduate programs at UBC. Awards are offered on entrance only, and are not renewable.

The exact number and level of awards varies each year, depending on available funding. OIS awards may range in value from $2,500 to $6,000 CAD.

Who is eligible?

To be eligible for an OIS Award, you must:

• be new to UBC
• be an international student studying at UBC on a Canadian study permit (student visa). Changes to your citizenship status will affect your scholarship eligibility.
• demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and strong extra-curricular involvement

How do I apply?

• All newly admitted international UBC students are eligible for awards consideration. No separate application is required.
• Admission records and personal profiles are reviewed after admission to UBC.

How will I receive the award?

• The majority of award offers are made by letter between February and April.
• Award funds are applied directly toward tuition and fees in two scheduled installments – in September and in January.
• The award will be confirmed and be added to your UBC student account after you complete your course registration, in mid-to-late summer.
