Are you eligible?High school and CEGEP students who are Canadian citizens and permanent residents are eligible for the Presidential Scholars Award. These awards recognize students who excel across the board and who have demonstrated academic and leadership achievements in the arts, community, athletics, and school.
How do you apply?Students wishing to be considered for a Presidential Scholars Award must apply to UBC by December 1, and indicate that they would like to be considered for the award when asked in their UBC application. All sections of the online application must be completed by December 1, including paying the admission fee, in order to qualify.
All high school applicants will be evaluated for the Presidential Scholars Award for their first-choice degree based on their Academic Profile, Personal Profile, and “scholarship short answer” sections of the online application. We will not evaluate second-choice degrees for a Presidential Scholars Award.
When will you be notified?UBC will contact the majority of Presidential Scholars Award winners by the end of day on April 27. Only successful award applicants will be contacted.
