UBC Public Scholars Award in
Canada 2023/24 is the most awaited opportunity that enables talented
international students to come to Canada to study on a funded basis. The
purpose of this scholarship in Canada is to attract top-level international
students and provide them with the chance to build strong connections and
community. The UBC international student’s award is highly career-oriented as
well as community service-oriented.
This award is part of
the UBC Public Scholars Initiative (PSI)
which intends to build connections, community, and capacity for doctoral
students who are interested in explicitly linking their doctoral work to an
arena of public benefit and integrating broader and more career-relevant forms
of scholarship into their doctoral education process.
Up to $10,000 twice, for a
total of $20,000 per student is available to support
innovative/collaborative scholarship which the student would otherwise be
unable to pursue.
