Awards & Scholarships for Incoming Students

NUS-UBC Lee Foundation Student Exchange Award
 

This award was created in 2003 through a generous donation from the Lee Foundation to help fund National University of Singapore (NUS) students on exchange to University of British Columbia (UBC) and for students on exchange from UBC to NUS.

UBC has been a close partner of NUS and both universities share comparable education standards and similar internationalisation goals. Both are recognised as leading research-intensive universities in their own right. Over 200 students from both NUS and UBC have participated in the student exchange programme between the two institutions in the last 8 years.
