UBC strives to attract the best applicants from around the world to its programs. For outstanding applicants without other funding support UBC provides the International Tuition Award that will provide up to $3,200 tuition fee support each year, which will bring down the international tuition for research-based programs to almost the same amount that domestic students pay.
