The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada is inviting nominations and applications for the 2021 Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow (ILOT) Award. This prestigious undergraduate scholarship recognizes international students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, leadership skills, community service, and achievements in performing arts, sports, debating, or external academic competitions.
Scholarship Value and Duration
- Proportional to Full Financial Need: The value of your ILOT Award is calculated by totaling your UBC tuition, fees, and living costs, and subtracting the financial contribution you and your family can afford each year.
- Duration: Renewable for up to three additional years of undergraduate study (4 years total) or until degree completion, provided you maintain satisfactory academic standing in your faculty, continue to demonstrate financial need, and maintain a valid Canadian study permit.
Eligibility Criteria
- Must be an international student who will study in Canada on a Canadian study permit.
- Be entering UBC directly from a recognized secondary school, college, or other university to pursue your first undergraduate degree.
- Demonstrate superior academic achievement (at least an "A" average or equivalent standard).

- Meet UBC's general, degree-specific, and English Language Admission Standards.
How to Apply and Deadline

- Complete your online application for undergraduate admission to UBC (note that only your first-choice degree on your UBC application will be considered for the ILOT award).
