Overview

UNBC provides awards and financial aid through UNBC Awards and Financial Aid to help students obtain funds necessary to finance their UNBC education, supported by sources including government and bank loans, private, corporate, public scholarships and bursaries, and UNBC awards. The page lists a Fall Awards Competition and a main awards competition for the academic year.

General Awards are included within UNBC’s award competitions. To apply for the main awards competition, students must be admitted to the University and have received a user ID and PIN number for their myUNBC Student Account to access the on-line award applications. The page also distinguishes registered students already in-course as applying via the myUNBC Student Account once the competition opens.

Applicants use the on-line award applications accessed through the myUNBC Student Account. For the main awards competition, the application deadline is set for submission of applications for General Awards. The page also notes that grade-recommended award applications include categories such as Early Entrance Awards, Leadership Awards, and Entrance Awards, and that General Awards have a separate deadline.

Support duration, what keeps the award, and any obligation after receiving it are not described on the provided page text.

2. Access the on-line award applications through your myUNBC Student Account.

3. Submit the General Awards application by the application deadline stated for the main awards competition.
