Affordability remains a huge challenge for many UBC students. The cost of housing, transportation and food security creates hardships for students, hindering their ability to fully thrive in their academic and campus life. The FORWARD for Students Fund addresses these challenges by providing need-based awards while supporting affordability programs and student support services across UBC.

Your donation to the FORWARD for Students Fund can change countless students’ lives, allowing them to keep moving forward on their academic and personal development without the constant burden of financial fears.

By supporting this fund, you help move the entire community forward—strengthening connections and ensuring every student feels supported by a network that cares about their success.
