Scholarships
UBC Continuing Studies has established the Academic Achievement Scholarship in order to raise the academic standard of students entering IGSPP, to help them to remain focused as they develop their skills throughout the program and to encourage them to apply to the world’s highest ranked graduate schools.
Academic Achievement Scholarship
Starting in 2010, UBC Continuing Studies will award one $3,000 CAD scholarship each calendar year. The scholarship recipient must be an IGSPP graduate and recently admitted to a graduate program. Annually, UBC Continuing Studies will review all of the universities where the IGSPP graduates have been admitted for that calendar year, and then choose the recipient from whichever university has the highest world ranking.
Determination of the highest ranking university each year will be based on the latest rankings available as set by the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
Students must also fulfill all of the conditions below.
Conditions
1) Students must complete IGSPP and graduate with an 85% GPA or higher.
2) Students require 85% attendance or higher during IGSPP.
3) Students must submit to UBC Continuing Studies a copy of their official graduate-level admission acceptance letter no later than October 31 to verify their eligibility for that calendar year.
4) Only one Admission Achievement Scholarship is awarded each calendar year and IGSPP graduates from any year are eligible. If more than one student is admitted to the top ranking university that year, the student with the higher GPA from IGSPP will be the recipient.
5) A student may only receive the scholarship once.
