Reviewing your UBC award offers

About award offers

  • Due to UBC’s award data retention policy, a maximum of 7 years of your award history will be stored and available to download.
  • You’ll be reviewing your award offers through the new Learner Financial Support Management (LFSM) system.
  • You will only find offer letter PDFs for award offers that have been accepted in the LFSM system. If you’ve accepted an award through the Student Service Centre (SSC) previously, please note that the award offer letter will not be available in the new LFSM system.

Accept in reduced amount

If you are already receiving a scholarship or funding package that has additional funding restrictions, you can “Accept in Reduced Amount”.

For example, your existing scholarship or funding package may only allow you to accept additional awards of up to $1,000 annually. If your new award offers you more than this amount, you can accept the award in a reduced amount so you still meet your funding requirements.

  1. To accept your offer in a reduced amount, click the white “Accept in reduced amount” button at the bottom left of the page.
  2. A pop-up window will appear with instructions to accept your offer. Read the instructions in detail.

  5. Once you have completed all the required steps, you can accept your offer by clicking the blue “I Agree” button at the bottom left of the pop-up window.

Accept in title only

If you are already receiving a scholarship or funding package that has additional funding restrictions, you can “Accept in Title Only”.

For example, your existing scholarship or funding package may not allow you to accept other awards. By accepting an offer in title only, you will not receive the funding but the award name will still be included in your award history and printed on your official UBC transcript.

  1. To accept your offer, click the white “Accept in title only” button at the bottom left of the page.
  2. A pop-up window will appear with instructions to accept your offer. Read the instructions in detail.

  4. In the text field, enter your reason for accepting the offer in title only.
  5. Once you have completed all the required steps, you can accept your offer by clicking the blue “I Agree” button at the bottom left of the pop-up window.

Review your decision

Once you have confirmed your decision on the award offer, the pop-up window will disappear. Your award history will be displayed in the bottom section of the page under “Award and Financial Assistance”.
