Year 12 | Scholarships

The UBC Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Program assists Black Canadian students who are transitioning to UBC from secondary school or another postsecondary institution. The purpose of the program is to financially support academically qualified students who show an interest in joining and contributing to the UBC community at both the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses, but who would not be able to attend without significant financial assistance. Through the program, new students can access renewable awards of up to $80,000. To be considered students must self identify as Black (African, African-American, African-Canadian, Afro-Caribbean), be a strong academic student, have financial need and be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or protected person in Canada. Applications are due by Dec. 1. 

TD Scholarships for Community Leadership 

Applications are now open for the TD Scholarships for Community Leadership. They are interested in hearing from students who have demonstrated consistent and outstanding dedication to helping improve the world by solving a social or community problem. For example, you may be helping to clean up the environment, promote social justice or fight child poverty. The application is due on Nov. 13. Interested students are encouraged to explore the website and speak with their university counsellor to learn more. 

Merit Scholarships at Vanderbilt 

Year 12 students who are applying to Vanderbilt University are encouraged to explore the merit scholarships offered. Each year Vanderbilt awards merit-based scholarships to applicants who demonstrate exceptional accomplishment and intellectual promise. These students represent the top 1 per cent of all first-year applicants to Vanderbilt, and with the limited number of merit scholarships available, the selection process is very competitive. Vanderbilt has three signature merit scholarships and interested students are encouraged to check out the website and speak with their university counsellor to learn more. Applications are due on Dec. 1. 

Robertson Scholars 

Students who are in Year 12 and planning to apply to Duke University or the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (or both) should consider the Robertson Scholars program. No nomination is required so any interested and qualified UCC student can submit an application. Robertson Scholars join a lifelong community committed to transformational change. They explore who they are, what they're committed to, and how to lead from their values in the face of an ever-changing world. The Robertson selection process focuses on finding students committed to making systems level changes in the world around them, who believe in possibilities, and have the creative imagination to solve intractable problems. They seek to build a community comprised of individuals seeking to work and learn alongside equally inspired change agents with varied interests and passions. The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program provides eight semesters of full tuition, room and board, and most mandatory fees for scholars at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill. Scholars also have access to generous funding for up to three summer experiences and for up to two semesters of study abroad. The Robertson application portal is currently open and applications are due Nov. 15. Interested students should speak with their university counsellor to learn more.

Boston University Trustee Scholarship

Year 12 students applying to Boston University are encouraged to explore the Trustee Scholarship. In addition to exceptional academic credentials, Trustee Scholars are intellectually and creatively adventurous and demonstrate viewpoints, experiences or achievements beyond the usual. They are, in other words, not just top students, but extraordinarily well-rounded individuals. At BU, Trustee Scholars become part of a unique campus community that offers many intellectual, cultural, and social opportunities. Trustee Scholars rank at the top of their classes and demonstrate exceptional leadership in their schools and communities. The Trustee Scholarship covers full undergraduate tuition plus mandatory undergraduate student fees for four years if certain criteria are met. To be considered, students must submit their application for admission to BU with one Trustee Scholarship essay by Dec. 1. More information about the Trustee Scholarship can be found on the website. Interested students are encouraged to speak with their university counsellor. 

Emory College Woodruff Scholars Program 

Students who are in Year 12 and planning to apply to Emory University should consider the Emory College Woodruff Scholars Program. Applicants must submit their application to the university by Nov. 15 (unless they are applying for Early Decision, in which case it is due Nov. 1) and have indicated on their application an interest in being considered for Merit Scholarships. No additional nomination forms, essays, or materials are required to be considered and all students, regardless of citizenship, can be considered for the Scholar Programs. The Scholar Programs seek individuals who are motivated to be agents of positive social change across the broad spectrum of society—research and discovery, arts and culture, policy and justice work, and innovation and entrepreneurship. They select applicants who demonstrate significant promise in developing the Scholar Qualities and who show an aptitude for and interest in working to improve their communities. The Scholar Qualities include a forceful and unselfish character, creativity and leadership, and intellectual and personal vigour. The scholarship includes full tuition, fees and on-campus room and meals. Students interested in any of these scholarships are encouraged to speak with their university counsellor to learn more.
