The ILOT Award recognizes international students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, leadership skills, involvement in student affairs and community service, recognized achievement in fields of endeavour such as the performing arts, sports, debating or creative writing, or external academic competitions and examinations.
ILOT Award winners receive an award-level commensurate with their financial need as determined by the costs of their tuition, fees and living costs, minus the financial contribution the student and their family can make annually towards these costs. A standard needs-assessment is made, based on financial information provided by students and their families.
The ILOT Award can be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study, or to degree completion, whichever is less, provided the student achieves satisfactory academic standing in their Faculty, continues to demonstrate financial need, and maintains their Canadian Study Permit (visa).
Am I eligible?
Award candidates must be nominated by their current school or college/university. To be considered for an ILOT Award you must:
- be entering a UBC undergraduate degree program from a recognized secondary school, college or other university;
- be admissible to the first* choice program you are applying to, including meeting UBC’s English Language Admission Standard;
- have an excellent academic record (at least an “A” average or equivalent standard);
- be an international student, who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident of Canada, and who will be studying in Canada on a Canadian Study Permit (visa);
- demonstrate a level of financial need that would otherwise prevent you from pursuing a UBC degree.
How can I be nominated?
- If you wish to be considered for an award, speak to your school or college/university counsellor. If you are accepted for nomination, the counsellor must use the ILOT nomination package available for download at the UBC Counsellors’ site.
What is the deadline?
The deadline for nomination packages to be received at UBC is January 31, 2011.
Nominees must also complete the online Application for academic admission to UBC, and meet the UBC English Language Admission Requirement by the same date, January 31, 2011. Early Application is encouraged, however, to ensure an Application decision can be made in time for Nomination consideration.
If the first* choice program is the Bachelor of Commerce, nominees are also required to complete the online BCom Supplemental Application.

I am from Ethiopia, I am learning in adama university ,i want to get a scholarship.please accept me. I want to learn in advanced way.
I am from Eritrea. I graduated in 2003 holding a Diploma in the field of Secretarial Science and office management with a cGPA of 3.28 out of 4.00 scale. I applied to different universities to continue my education and to hold a degree. Most of the universities tell me that I am accepted but the problem is they ask for Financial Statement to be shown so that to send me the I-20. So since I dont have a sponsor to show me this financial statment I lost all the admissions I got. So is there any college or university that doesnt ask for a financial statement before or after admission because I dont have a sponsor who can show for me.
Thanks

Hi
I am a student at Nairobi International school of Theology enrolled for masters of divinity with concentration on missions. I am however unable to continue with this program due to financial difficulties. I have demonstrated my leadership prowess through church planting ministry for the last ten years God has enabled me through His grace to plant five churches which are thriving and impacting the communities where they are. Kindly consider and help me achieve my dreams, for this program will equip me and prepare me for further expansion of God;s kingdom. Blessings.
I am Baibai Joseph (South Sudan) a diploma holder in Clinical medicine and Public health ambitious to further studies in the same medical field. However, is limited with finance to continue studies. I am therefore, desperately asking for support to achieve my goal in medical proffession.
Investing in me by granting me this scholarship is like investing in the future health and well being of Zambia Africa at larg. I have spent my life working hard to better my country. Throughout high school I maintained a high level of academic achievement while volunteering for community service, working to develop the education system in Africa, particularly Zambia. I worked globally with numerous governments, NGOs, and communities to promote free quality basic education in Zambia.
My goal is getting bachelors degree in International business administration and to become a strong leader in Zambian business and economics in order to encourage private investment in my country. Beyond my past and future achievements lies a strong desire to become an instrumental member of society, using all of my energy to bring about constructive change and create more paths to the “good life” for underprivileged people in communities. I enjoy working on improving lives through education and health care for sick, uneducated, and underprivileged people. Improving education has been shown to be the most significant way of preventing poverty, HIV, and AIDS in Africa. I want to exemplify what a good education can do for someone.currenty am doing my studies International Business Administration, at North Hennepin Community College in the United States of America
Your willingness of help it will help me to accomplish my goal.
I will highly appreciated for your consideration
Thank you
