UBC Centennial Scholars Entrance Award

The UBC Centennial Scholars Entrance Award program assists students who are transitioning to UBC from secondary school or another post-secondary institution. The purpose of the program is to financially support academically qualified students who show an interest in joining and contributing to the UBC community, but who would not be able to attend without significant financial assistance. Through the program, new students can access a variety of one-time and renewable awards of up to $80,000.

Are you eligible?

To be considered for the Centennial Scholars Entrance Award :

• You must be a strong academic student and meet all UBC admissions requirements.
• You must demonstrate financial need.
• You must be a Canadian citizen,  permanent resident, or protected person in Canada.
• You must be entering directly from high school or transferring from another post-secondary institution.
• You must apply to a direct-entry undergraduate program at UBC, and not have a previous degree.
