Sponsors
What is a sponsor?
Sponsors can be Government Agencies, Companies, Aboriginal bands, or other organizations. Individuals, parents, and other relatives are not eligible to act as sponsors.
Sponsors are invoiced each term for the costs they agree to, and pay UBC directly for these fees.
If you are an organization wishing to set up a scholarship, please contact Student Financial Assistance & Awards.
How it works
- All sponsors must complete a Sponsorship Application Form (pdf) for each student they wish to sponsor. Once we receive the form in Enrolment Services, we will add it to the student’s account within 2 business days and send them an e-mail to let them know when it was added.
- As a sponsor, you will only receive an e-mail if your application is refused or if we have questions about the sponsorship details. In accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), we will ask the student(s) you sponsor to consent to the release of their registration information, which allows us to send you invoices.
- If the conditions of your sponsorship include having the student keep you up to date on their progress, or if you require transcripts, etc, you will need to ask the student to send these directly to you.
- If you wish to sponsor a student for books and supplies or housing in addition to tuition, we can help you arrange this. You can indicate this on the sponsorship application form and we will forward it to the appropriate department on your behalf.
Dates and deadlines
If you are unable to apply before the deadlines listed below, please contact the Sponsorship Billing Coordinator.
- You will receive invoices at the end of the first month of each term: in September and late January for Winter Session courses, and in late May and late July for Summer Session courses. This helps ensure the accuracy of the invoice, as students may change their registered courses early in the term.
- Invoices are due upon receipt. If your payment will be delayed, please contact the Sponsorship Billing Coordinator in order to make sure the student is not penalized for a late payment.
