The scholarship is one of the ways that the UBC Public Scholars Initiative has adopted to build a bridge and community, and also aid doctoral students who want to use their research for the public’s benefit.
UBC Public Scholars Award is open to Citizens, Permanent Citizens as well students from other countries who want to experience other traditions and possibly a better education.
Every year, funding is offered to around 30 new students from various faculties at both UBC and UBCO. Students who are chosen for the program will have the opportunity to receive funding and renew for the second academic year.
