UBC is looking for the most accomplished and promising Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The Presidential Scholars Award program offers the most prestigious awards available to students entering UBC. These include a one-time award of approximately $5,000, and renewable awards of up to $40,000 on the Okanagan campus, and $80,000 on the Vancouver campus, each payable over four years. 
Eligibility:
High school & CEGEP students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents are eligible for the Presidential Scholars Award. These awards recognize students who excel across the board and who have demonstrated academic and leadership achievements in the arts, community, athletics, and school.  
Students wishing to be considered for a Presidential Scholars Award must apply to UBC by December 1 and have completed their full application to UBC including payment of admission fees. They must also make sure to check the “YES” box on the application to be considered. Applicants will be evaluated on their first-choice degree based on their academic profile and personal profile. We will not evaluate second-choice degrees for a Presidential Scholars Award. 
Only successful award applicants will be contacted. https://you.ubc.ca/financial-planning/scholarships-awards-canadian-students/presidential-scholars/#section-2
