University of British Columbia Scholarship

The University of British Columbia is earmarking a quarter of a million dollars in non-public funds to support merit-based scholarships for Indian students entering any one of UBC’s undergraduate degree programmes. The university will offer 11 Outstanding International Student awards at $10,000 CAD each, and five International Major Entrance Scholarships, valued at $28,000 CAD each, or $7,000 a year for four years, to international students from India who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, intellectual promise, as well as strong extracurricular and community involvement. The first awards will be tenable for September 2015. In addition, Indian schools have been encouraged to nominate their most outstanding students who also have financial need for UBC’s highly-selective International Scholars Program. http://internationalscholars.ubc.ca/
