UNBC Scholars

UNBC Scholars

• The UNBC Scholars program recognizes Grade 11 students in Northern BC and Yukon for outstanding academic achievement.
• The scholarship will take the form of a waiver of full tuition to a maximum of 120 credits (or the number of credits required for a bachelor's degree). Students do not apply to be UNBC Scholars. Rather, at the start of their Grade 12 year, each high school in Northern BC and Yukon (see following list) will indicate the student with the highest grade point average based on the student's Grade 11 marks (minimum 80%). The GPA will be calculated on the basis of the highest grade received in English 11 or 12 or English First Peoples 11 or 12, and the highest grade received in Math 11 or 12, and the next four highest marks in Grade 11 courses (to include three academic courses and one elective).

Criteria

The recipients must:

• Meet UNBC Admission requirements (refer to the academic calendar for details),
• Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident at the time of nomination,
• Maintain at least an 80% average in Grade 12,
• Register as a full-time student at UNBC for the academic year immediately following the nomination,
• Students must register in 24 credit hours per academic year to keep their UNBC Scholar eligibility,
• Students must be registered in 12 credit hours in each of the September and January semesters.
