Presidential scholars awards

UBC has renewable scholarships valued at $30,000 each for Indigenous students entering directly from a senior secondary school in British Columbia, and renewable scholarships valued at $15,000 each for Canadian Indigenous students entering UBC as a transfer student from a recognized post-secondary institution.

Indigenous students who apply before the deadline will be considered for both general entrance scholarships and Indigenous-specific scholarships.

Indigenous awards

UBC also has several scholarships, bursaries and awards for Indigenous students. Several of these awards are faculty-recommended awards that are offered to students after their first year of study. Individual faculties are responsible for recommending their students for these awards. Recommendations are based on a range of factors, such as academic achievement, leadership, UBC involvement, and participation on varsity athletic teams.
