Registration Deposit Deferral for Indigenous Students
If a student self-identifies as an Indigenous person of Canada in their UBC application, their registration deposit will be automatically deferred. This is part of UBC’s effort to support students who are being funded by third parties, including their band or Nation.
Future Global Leaders Program
High school students can try out a university subject before applying to university in our summer Future Global Leaders program.
Students can enjoy the full university experience by attending Future Global Leaders at the UBC Vancouver campus (where students can choose between staying in a student residence or commuting daily to campus), or study at home with online courses.
Courses and residence rooms are filling up fast. Register now to save your spot.

Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Program
UBC’s new award program supports undergraduate Black Canadian students applying to both campuses. There are a number of award categories based on student need. Some are one-time and some are renewable up to $80,000. In addition to the financial assistance, scholars will be supported with a range of programming dedicated to student success.
To be considered for this award, applicants need to submit their UBC application and complete the Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Award application by December 1st.
Student information session: November 1st, 2023 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm PST
Please note that selective aspects of this programming will be open to all Black students, and not just limited to award recipients.

Meeting UBC’s minimum general and degree-specific requirements does not guarantee that a student will receive an offer. That’s where the Personal Profile section of our online application comes in.
UBC is a competitive university. To determine who receives an offer of admission, we consider a student’s grades, course choices, and achievements beyond academics
UBC Future Global Leaders
UBC Future Global Leaders is an exciting pre-university program, offered online and in-person, for high school students ages 15–18.
The program allows students to try an academic course taught by UBC professors and instructors, get a taste of life at a top-tier university, and prepare to succeed beyond high school. Courses are delivered either in-person or online, and are offered in the fall, spring, and summer.
KEEP LEARNING:
This resource is designed to help students be successful with their transition to online learning at UBC while it is not possible to implement in-person sessions. https://keeplearning.ubc.ca/
READY, SET, BEGIN:
This program is being set-up to help students transition to university despite interruptions in their final semester of school. The program will have 3-5 modules designed to assist students in developing skills in math/numeracy literacy, academic reading and writing, ways of knowing/ Indigenous education, global citizenship, and how to thrive in an online learning environment with a focus on mental health and wellness. This program does not currently have a website. Students will be contacted directly with further details on how to join.
