Donald A. Wehrung International Student Award For International Students.

Donald A. Wehrung International Student Award For International Students.

Brief description:

This is another interesting opportunity which is introduced by the Donald A. Wehrung International Student Award which recognizes outstanding international undergraduate students from handicap or war-torn areas who have achieved academic excellence under difficult circumstances, hardship and who would be unable to attend university without financial assistance. The host institution is the University of British Columbia in Canada.

Scholarship values and duration:

The value of the Award is proportional to your demonstrated financial need and sufficient to cover living expenses and tuition costs for your degree of study.

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).

Eligibility:

To be considered for the International Leader of Tomorrow Award:

• • You must be an international student who will be studying in Canada on a Canadian study permit.
• • You must be graduating or have recently graduated from a recognized senior secondary school.
• • You must be applying for your first undergraduate degree.
• • You must meet UBC’s admission requirements, including general and degree-specific requirements and the English Language Admission Standard.
• • You must demonstrate superior academic achievement (at least an A average or equivalent standard) and leadership potential.
• • You must come from a war-torn, politically unstable, or economically disadvantaged region of the world.
• • You must have achieved academic excellence under difficult circumstances and have no financial means from family or other sources to pursue post-secondary education in your own country because it is unavailable or unattainable or outside your country because it is unaffordable.
