President’s Academic Excellence Initiative PhD Awards (PAEIPA) totalling approximately $4.3 million per year are provided to recognize the significant contributions of PhD students to the research activities of the university. The awards are available to all new and continuing PhD students, except Joint PhD students who are not being assessed tuition at UBC for the term.
ELIGIBILITY:
Citizenship: Canadian, Permanent Resident, and International
Degree Level: Doctoral
The awards are available to all new and continuing PhD students except:
Those students who are not assessed tuition (ie. Joint PhD students who are not being assessed tuition at UBC for the term)
Note: Prior to September 2022, students who had their tuition paid by a sponsor or students who received a UBC staff tuition waiver were not eligible for the PAEIPA. As of September 2022, they are now eligible.
The award will be assigned automatically to eligible students; students do not need to apply.
