At UBC Okanagan, 25% of our students identify as having some type of disability or medical condition that impacts their daily life. Your gift to the Perseverance Bursary can help remove financial barriers that make their academic journeys even more difficult. Established by a generous UBC Okanagan alumna, this bursary is the only donor-funded award for students with disabilities.

In 2022, thanks to the generous support of Giving Day donors like you, UBC Okanagan was able to provide 8 additional bursaries to students with disabilities. We hope to continue to grow this award and support even more students in 2023!

On April 5, join us in breaking down obstacles to success for our students and give!
