The Award can be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study, or to degree completion, whichever is less, provided the student achieves satisfactory academic standing in their faculty, continues to demonstrate financial need, and maintains their Canadian study permit (visa).

• be admissible to the first choice program they are applying to, including meeting UBC’s English Language Admission Standard

• have an excellent academic record (at least an “A” average or equivalent standard)

• be an international student, who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident of Canada, and who will be studying in Canada on a Canadian Study Permit (visa)

• demonstrate a level of financial need that would otherwise prevent them from pursuing a UBC degree

• be entering a UBC undergraduate degree program from a recognized secondary school, college or other university

Award candidates must be nominated by their current school or college/university. When students are confirmed for nomination by their school, college, or university, their institution must use the International Leader of Tomorrow Award nomination package found at the official website.
