Candidates must be nominated by their high school. Click here to learn more about eligibility and how to apply.

We encourage students to start their financial planning early. They can use UBC’s cost calculator to understand how much university will cost and what types of expenses they should consider. If you or your students have any questions, please connect with us directly. 

Sponsorship: Some UBC students have a portion of their UBC fees paid by a sponsor such as an Indigenous community, employer, or government agency. Find more information about how a sponsor can set-up direct payments to UBC on our sponsorship billing page.

Get support: For more information on finances, students can contact Student Records and Financial Services on the Okanagan campus or an Enrolment Services Advisor  on the Vancouver campus.

The UBC Future Global Leaders program is is offered through our Extended Learning department and offers unique opportunities for students aged 15-18 to prepare for university. Although it is run by UBC, these courses will prepare your students for a first-class experience at any university.

The Future Global Leaders team will be offering scholarships for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and other People of Colour) students who have some financial need. Please send an email message to nicolette.richardson@ubc.ca to learn more about these scholarships.

If your students are interested in how movement impacts health, they should take a look at the Bachelor of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC Okanagan. This program was previously known as the Bachelor of Human Kinetics, and has been renamed to emphasize the interdisciplinary and hands-on study that your students will experience as part of this degree, including examining the psychological, physiological, neuromechanical, and socio-cultural aspects of movement and exercise.

STEPS Forward's BC Initiative for Inclusive Post-Secondary Education (BC-IPSE) provides support for students with developmental disabilities to access post-secondary education.

Through partnerships with post-secondary institutions (including UBC), students who have finished their high school education are supported across BC to enroll at their local university or college to complete studies, over 4-5 years, in the field of their choice.
