Graduate program nomination deadline: 4:00 pm PDT on Tuesday, 21 September 2021.

Note:

  • Given the continuing challenges related to COVID-19 and the difficulty of obtaining/processing paper transcripts, it is recommended that applicants order official transcripts that can be sent electronically from their previous institutions to UBC, rather than by mail, where possible.
  • Vanier CGS requires official transcripts – unofficial transcripts are not accepted for non-UBC transcripts.  For details on transcript requrements, applicants are recommended to review our Vanier webpage (section ‘ Application Procedures’).

For more information, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, and nomination procedures, please visit our Vanier webpage: https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/vanier-scholarship
