Help us support students facing today's unprecedented challenges—housing, transportation and food security shouldn't be a barrier to education. At UBCO, students juggle multiple jobs and sacrifice meals just to cover essentials like textbooks and rent.

We believe education should never come at the cost of wellbeing. UBCO is committed to breaking down financial barriers because no eligible student should be denied education based on financial need. The FORWARD for Students Affordability Initiative tackles these challenges head-on by providing essential support, including need-based student awards and affordability programs.

Your support today transforms students' lives, empowering them to overcome financial hurdles and build a brighter future. Join us in creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment. Give to FORWARD and be a key player in shaping a better tomorrow for UBCO students.
