  • Be an international student – neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident of Canada – and be studying in Canada on a Canadian study permit (student visa);
  • Demonstrate a level of financial need that would otherwise prevent you from pursuing a UBC degree;
  • Be entering a UBC undergraduate degree program from a recognized secondary school, college, or another university.
