Move students FORWARD
You can help UBC students thrive.
Affordability is the greatest challenge facing students today.
Housing, transportation and food security create real barriers to
student success. UBC believes no eligible student should be denied
an education based solely on financial need.
The FORWARD for Students Affordability Fund is dedicated to
improving the lives of students in need. This fund offers need-based
student awards and affordability programs and services, providing
students with support where they need it most.
The time for action is now—you can make a difference today in the
student affordability crisis.
