Great offer! The University of British Columbia is delighted to offer all exceptional candidates the 2023 Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Scholarship Award in Canada.

The Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award honors international undergraduate students who exhibit outstanding academic performance, leadership abilities, engagement in student activities, and community service, as well as acknowledged excellence in other crucial areas.

This Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award’s worth is significantly linked to your level of financial need. Calculating how much money you and your family may contribute each year is done by adding together your tuition, fees, and living expenses. A typical needs analysis is built on the financial data that you and your family have submitted.

Your scholarship may be extended for up to three more years of undergraduate study or until you complete your degree, whichever comes first, providing you maintain your Canadian study permit, demonstrate continued financial need, and maintain good academic standing in your faculty (student visa).
