International Undergraduate Student Awards in Humanitarian Studies by British Columbia University, Canada

Description
UBC is committed to fostering the richest scholarly communities in its campuses, which as far as possible reflect the diversity of our world. The Donald A. Wehrung International Student Humanitarian Award (ISHA) recognizes outstanding international students from impoverished or war-torn areas, who have achieved academic excellence under difficult circumstances and who would be unable to pursue post-secondary education without financial assistance. The value of awards is commensurate with demonstrated financial need, and sufficient to cover tuition costs for the relevant program of study, and living expenses. An ISHA award can be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study, or to degree completion, whichever is less, provided the recipient achieves satisfactory academic standing in their faculty, continues to demonstrate financial need, and maintains their Canadian Study Permit (visa).

Benefit: The value of awards is commensurate with demonstrated financial need, and sufficient to cover tuition costs for the relevant program of study, and living expenses.

Eligibility
  • All candidates must be nominated for an ISHA award.
  • Nominees must be international students entering university directly from secondary school and eligible to study in Canada on a Canadian study permit.
  • They must also demonstrate superior academic achievement (‘A’ average or equivalent standing) and meet UBC’s other competitive admission requirements.
