The University of British Columbia (UBC) is offering International Major Entrance Scholarships (IMES) for outstanding international undergraduate students. This scholarship program is designed to assist international students who are starting their undergraduate studies at UBC. Successful applicants receive their IMES awards upon enrollment in their first year and can renew them for up to three additional years of study, depending on available funding. The number and level of scholarships awarded vary each year.
This scholarship opportunity is available to international students who are new to UBC and will be studying on a Canadian study permit (student visa). Applicants must demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and intellectual promise, as well as impressive extracurricular and community involvement. It is important to note that applicants nominated for a need-and-merit-based International Scholars scholarship are ineligible for the IMES award.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you will be automatically considered for the IMES scholarship if you apply to UBC by January 15th. Scholarship decisions are made between mid-March and the end of April each year. The exact amount of funding available for this scholarship is not stated, but UBC offers several IMES awards annually.
If you are an international student interested in studying at UBC and want to be considered for this scholarship, visit the official website for more details on how to apply. You can also check out other international scholarship opportunities such as the University of Huddersfield and Kingston University London scholarship programs.
