Fully-funded UBC Scholarships for International Students in Canada 2018

Sponsored link

The University of British Columbia, Canada, invites applications for its 2018/2019 International Leader of Tomorrow Award, which offers scholarships proportional to the financial needs of applicants.

Financial need is determined by tuition, fees, and living costs, minus the financial contribution you and your family can make annually. A standard needs-assessment is based on the financial information provided by you and your family.

Basically, the UBC assess how much you and your family can contribute towards your education and it would cover everything else for you.

Course Level: Award is available for pursuing undergraduate degree level at the University of British Columbia.

Study Subject: Award is provided to learn any of the courses offered by the University of British Columbia.

Worth of Award 

ILOT Award winners will receive an award-level commensurate with their financial need as determined by the costs of their tuition and student fees, plus their living and other related costs at UBC, minus the financial contribution the student and their family can make annually towards these costs. For many students, you will only pay a tiny part or nothing.
