We take this moment to acknowledge that these lands have been, for generations, the site of teaching and learning for Indigenous peoples. UBC鈥檚 Vancouver campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, unceded land of the Musqueam people. UBC鈥檚 Okanagan campus is situated on the territory of the Sylix Okanagan Nation.</p> <p>On September 14, 2020, UBC launched the new <a href="https://aboriginal-2018.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2020/09/UBC.ISP_C2V13.1_Spreads_Sept1.pdf" target="_blank">Indigenous Strategic Plan</a>, and became the first university in North America to commit to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. By doing so, UBC has committed to taking on a more human rights-based approach to the larger Indigenous strategic framework.</p> <p>UBC is proud of the outstanding contributions of the many Indigenous graduate students working across a wide range of academic disciplines. At UBC, you will find faculty and students deeply engaged in scholarship that impacts Indigenous communities and the world around us, in fields ranging from education, science, law, fine arts, engineering, forestry, social work, public health, history and more. We are committed to promoting the success of Indigenous graduate applicants through funding, housing, community and many other support initiatives.</p> <p>聽</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-fieldable-panels-pane pane-fpid-965 ga-Life-at-UBC pane-bundle-fieldable-panels-pane" id="ga-Life-at-UBC" > <div class="pane-content"> <div class="fieldable-panels-pane"> <div class="field field-name-field-panel-pane-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <h4>Life at UBC</h4> <p>UBC has a large and vibrant community of Indigenous students, faculty members, staff and friends. There are many Indigenous-focused programs and services on campus to support Indigenous graduate student academic and personal success, including priority placement in student housing, financial awards and bursaries, as well as cultural events, programs and services.</p> <p>The centre of Indigenous聽community on campus is the <a href="http://aboriginal.ubc.ca/longhouse/" target="_blank">First Nations Longhouse</a>. The Longhouse sponsors many workshops, social gatherings, ceremonies and support programs throughout the year. It also is the home to the Indigenous Teacher Education Program (NITEP), the First Nations House of Learning (FNHL), a computer lab, and the <a href="http://www.library.ubc.ca/xwi7xwa/" target="_blank">Xwi7xwa Library</a>, which has books, videos, newspapers and journals focusing on Indigenous peoples in BC and Canada.</p> <p>Indigenous graduate students are also invited to join SAGE (Supporting Aboriginal Graduate Enhancement), a group dedicated to fostering Indigenous graduate student success. Join the SAGE Listerv by emailing the SAGE Provincial Coordinator at <a href="mailto:grad.sage@ubc.ca">grad.sage@ubc.ca</a>.</p> <p>You can learn much more about the many dimensions of Indigenous presence at UBC through the <a href="http://aboriginal.ubc.ca/" target="_blank">UBC Indigenous聽Portal</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-fieldable-panels-pane pane-fpid-966 ga-Admissions pane-bundle-fieldable-panels-pane" id="ga-Admissions" > <div class="pane-content"> <div class="fieldable-panels-pane"> <div class="field field-name-field-panel-pane-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <h4>Admissions for Indigenous students</h4> <p>UBC is a research-intensive university with much to offer to Indigenous graduate students.

Identifying yourself as Indigenous in your application will automatically make you eligible for some funding opportunities, so it is important you do so. This funding is not guaranteed, but your graduate program will consider you for these opportunities and possibly nominate you for specific scholarships.</p> <p>Additional information on Indigenous financial aid and awards can be found at the <a href="http://aboriginal.ubc.ca/students/financial-planning-and-awards/" target="_blank">First Nations House of Learning</a> and on the <a href="https://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/finances/awards-scholarships-bursaries/awards-indigenous" target="_blank">Indigenous Awards</a> page of the Student Services website. We also encourage you to read through the聽<a href="https://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/finances/funding-studies/financial-support-options/financial-support-indigenous" target="_blank">financial resources guide for Indigenous students</a>.</p> <p>There are also many other funding opportunities that are available broadly to graduate students, including teaching assistantships, research assistantships, federal grants, and scholarships. Visit the <a href="https://www.grad.ubc.ca/scholarships-awards-funding">Scholarships, Awards and Funding</a> section of this website for awards and funding information specific to graduate students.</p> <p>Please note: students without Canadian citizenship but who are members of Indigenous nations of Canada and students who are American citizens and are affiliated with an Indigenous nation that is bisected by the Canada-U.S. border may qualify for domestic tuition rates.

Vancouver campus also offers several courses with significant Indigenous themes and content. Many Indigenous graduate students choose the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, which allows students to carve out an interdisciplinary approach to Indigenous scholarship.</p> <p><a class="ctalink" href="https://indigenous.ubc.ca/students/prospective-students/aboriginal-programs/" target="_blank">Learn more about Indigenous聽academic programs</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container"> <!-- 50/50% - 2 columns --> <div class="panel-panel line"> <div class="panel-panel unit span6"> <div class="inside"> <div class="panel-pane pane-fieldable-panels-pane pane-fpid-960 ga-Housing pane-bundle-fieldable-panels-pane" id="ga-Housing" > <div class="pane-content"> <div class="fieldable-panels-pane"> <div class="field field-name-field-panel-pane-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <h4>Housing for Indigenous Students</h4> <p>New Indigenous graduate students have priority for obtaining on-campus housing.
