Eligibility These tuition remission scholarships are available each year to grade 11 students in northern British Columbia and Yukon high schools who have attained the highest academic average in their high school. The scholarship will take the form of a waiver of full tuition fees to a maximum of 120 credit hours (or the number of credit hours required for a Bachelor's degree). The recipients must meet UNBC admission requirements and be Canadian citizens or have landed immigrant status. The award is tenable upon registration in a full course load at UNBC, with minimum of 12 credit hours in both Fall and Winter semester. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours each academic year (September-August) in order to retain this scholarship.
Criteria Academic excellence.
Application Instructions No application is required. Each high school in northern British Columbia will nominate one student with the highest GPA at the end of grade 11 ( minimum 80%). In the event that two or more students have an equal GPA at the end of grade 11 and the high school is unable to break the tie, a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Scholarships and Bursaries may ask the candidates for additional information to enable UNBC to break the tie and determine the recipient.
Note These scholarships are renewable annually subject to the recipients registering in a full course load (30 credit hours) each academic year at UNBC and attaining at least an annual GPA of 3.00 (“B” average) in the academic year.
