At UBC Okanagan, we’re committed to turning the page on financial hardship, ensuring that students with disabilities can immerse themselves in their education without extra burdens. Through the Perseverance Bursary, we help cover the additional expenses—like adaptive equipment or caregiver support—that too often stand between talented learners and their academic goals. With your support, these students can focus on their studies, build lasting memories and unlock their full potential.

Each and every donation on Giving Day can help remove financial barriers and create a more inclusive campus environment. A gift of just $20 today can mean the difference between feeling alone and feeling confident.

Please join us in strengthening accessibility—together, we can give students the chance to rise above financial obstacles and prove that their determination knows no limits.
