Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award at the University of British Columbia, Canada
The Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award is one of the prestigious need-and-merit-based awards that are available through the University of British Columbia’s International Scholars Program.
The Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award recognizes international undergraduate students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, leadership skills, involvement in student affairs and community service, and recognized achievement in other key areas.
The value of the Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award is proportional to your financial need. A standard needs assessment is based on the financial information provided by you and your family.
The award may be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study or to degree completion – whichever comes first – provided you achieve satisfactory academic standing in your faculty, continue to demonstrate financial need, and maintain your Canadian study permit (student visa).
