Take advantage of unique learning opportunities
You’ll have access to numerous opportunities inside and outside the classroom that will enrich your university experience.

- Annual retreats will help you connect with your community while you plan for the year ahead and develop your leadership skills.
- An annual workshop series will provide leadership, community development, career preparation, and networking opportunities throughout your degree.
- Receptions and celebratory events are hosted throughout each year to recognize your achievements and connect you to the scholar’s community on campus.
- Study-abroad exchange programs can take you to emerging countries where you’ll address local challenges in health, agriculture, social infrastructure, education, and sustainable development.
Access dedicated advice and support
You’ll be supported by a team of dedicated International Scholars Program advisors throughout your degree, plus a network of staff from across UBC’s faculties and services who will encourage your academic, personal, and career development.
eligibility for the Program
- 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 one gap year prior to the academic year you are applying to. For example, applicants for the 2024 winter session must have graduated from high school no earlier than November 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. (UBC automatically considers all international students for the merit-based International Major Entrance Scholarships and Outstanding International Student Awards scholarships, totaling a maximum value of $35,000 per year. If this amount does not cover your needs for tuition and basic living expenses, you are eligible to apply for the International Scholars Program.)
- You must meet UBC’s admission requirements, including general and degree-specific requirements and the English Language Admission Standard.
We will consider you for the Vantage One Excellence Award if:
- All previous eligibility criteria apply, except you must not yet meet UBC’s English Language Admission Standard for direct admission to UBC.
- You must meet the UBC Vantage College admission requirements, including the English requirements for Vantage College.
- You must be coming directly from high school
- You must be beginning your undergraduate studies at UBC in the UBC Vantage One Program.
Please note: If you apply for the International Scholars Program, you will not be considered for merit-based awards, including International Major Entrance Scholarships and Outstanding International Student Awards.
How to apply for the International Scholars Program
Applications for the 2024 school year are now closed.
- Review the application page for the International Scholars Program.
- Decide on the academic program you want to study and which campus you want to choose.

3. To apply for the International Scholars Program, you must be nominated by your school or non-profit and submit a reference from an academic referee.
- Before proceeding with the nomination process, please ensure that your school or non-profit organization is eligible to nominate you. Each high school, college, or university is allowed to nominate up to two students for UBC Vancouver (including Vantage College) and one student for UBC Okanagan. However, non-profits can only nominate high school students who are actively involved with their organization. It’s important to note that this nomination will be counted towards the total number of nominations that can be made from a student’s school.
- When applying for the International Scholars Program, it is important to inform your nominator and academic referee about your intentions and the deadline for submission, which is November 15. Your nominator should be your school counselor or someone with an equivalent position, while your academic referee should be someone who knows you and your work closely, such as your teacher for the chosen area of study.
