Trek Excellence Scholarship, University of British Columbia

Two Trek Excellence Scholarships (TES) are available for international students:
  1. $4,000 awards: these awards are given to international students who rank in the top 5% of students in each undergraduate year of each faculty and school
  2. $1,000 awards: these awards are given to international students who rank in the top 5% to 10% of students in each undergraduate year of each faculty and school

Eligibility criteria for all students

Each year the Trek Excellence Scholarship eligibility will be evaluated based on grades from the previous year. This is not a renewable scholarship, and no application is required.
  • Students must have registered in at least 27 credits for the previous year.
  • The average will be based on the best 27 credits.
  • Audited, wait-listed, and summer courses do not count towards these limits.
  • No failed courses are permitted.
  • There are additional steps needed to qualify for students on co-op and exchange.

Students who are enrolled in a post-baccalaureate professional degree program such as Medicine, Dentistry, Law and Education (except NITEP) are not eligible. Students registered in these degrees, however, do qualify for substantial faculty-recommended scholarships.
