The UBC Sauder School of Business awards a suite of entrance scholarships to admitted students of its full-time MBA, a 16-month in-person program at the Robert H. Lee Graduate School in Vancouver, Canada. Every applicant is automatically considered — there is no separate scholarship form. Awards are merit-based, judged on academic record, leadership, and community involvement, with several named awards focused on a specific theme such as sustainability, gender equity, or regional talent. Values range from $10,000 to full tuition (most international awards cap around CAD 60,000). Applying in an earlier round widens the set of scholarships you qualify for.
