The University of British Columbia is pleased to partner with The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program to provide comprehensive scholarships to students from Sub-Saharan Africa. The Program provides access to education for academically talented, yet economically marginalized young people. Scholars in the Program have a demonstrated commitment to giving back to their communities and develop the leadership needed to contribute to social and economic transformation across the continent.


WHO WE ARE:
The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program at UBC will take place over a ten-year period with a total of 163 MasterCard Foundation Scholars, including 77 undergraduate and 35 masters students. Beginning with five undergraduate students in 2013, in 2018 UBC will have more than 70 MasterCard Foundation Scholars.

How much does the scholarship cover?

The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program covers all expenses associated with UBC tuition, housing and food. Scholars also receive a stipend each month to support their lives in Vancouver.
