International Scholarships

Supporting the international exchange of knowledge while helping BC students to become global citizens

The Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society, in partnership with the Victoria Foundation, hosts a suite of international scholarships designed to support students from BC in studying abroad. Successful applicants must clearly demonstrate academic merit as well as significant involvement in their community and/or school.

One World International Scholarships are available to students pursuing study or work abroad programs that are either:

1. A formal part of a BC credential program and/or carry academic credit recognized at a BC educational institution ($1,000-$3,500), or;
2. Offer experiential learning opportunities involving language acquisition and/or cultural training ($1,000).

Students who apply may also be considered for the high-value Premier’s International Scholarships if they meet additional criteria and indicate interest.
