“With the current cost of living crisis, being a university student is not easy, especially when it comes to working multiple jobs and balancing academics and extracurriculars. I am one of many Arts students who wouldn’t be at UBC without the support of bursaries and scholarships. This support has given me time to pursue extracurricular student leadership opportunities like my role in the Arts Undergraduate Society. I feel privileged and grateful for the support I’ve received and can’t say enough about how important awards, like the Arts Bursary, are empowering students to reach their full potential.”

— Emma Martin-Rousselle, Arts Undergraduate Society President

Affordability is one of today’s top challenges for Arts students. It’s critical that we empower them with greater financial security and remove barriers to an enriching university experience.

Arts graduates are uniquely equipped with the skills to identify, examine and help solve some of the most pressing issues of our time. By delving into and applying what they learn about climate change, social justice and cultural understanding, they bring innovative perspectives and solutions to the forefront. The world has so much to gain when we can encourage the participation and contributions of Arts students of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences.

Your gift to the Faculty of Arts Bursary will provide direct financial aid to Arts students with the greatest need. This support helps them tackle immediate financial challenges, creating a smoother path to graduation and their potential to make an impact.

Help Arts students pursue degrees that will allow them to confidently navigate the complexities of our world and build a more inclusive and equitable future for all. Give today!
