The University of British Columbia (UBC) Opportunities

The International Community Achievement Award recognizes continuing international undergraduate students who contribute to campus and communities while maintaining strong academic standing. Eligible leadership may include community service, international engagement, intercultural understanding, promotion of diversity, intellectual, artistic or athletic pursuits, and other campus activities. Applicants provide up to three examples of community impact and request recommendations from two referees. UBC states awards of up to $10,000 each and plans to notify recipients by mid-December.

Applicants must be continuing international students in a four-year undergraduate degree at UBC Vancouver, study on a Canadian study permit, pay international undergraduate tuition and fees, have been registered at Vancouver campus for the previous Winter Session, and be registered for the current Winter Session. Students in Go Global or Co-operative Education may apply. Prior ICAA recipients may be considered again if they demonstrate meaningful leadership and service contributions that are separate and distinct from the activities recognized by the earlier award.
