President's International Entrance Scholarships

For current British Columbia high school students.

The President's International Entrance Scholarships were established to financially support international students coming to Langara College in pursuit of higher education.

Eligible recipients will have $5,000 applied towards the cost of tuition and fees in their first term of study. Recipients must maintain a CGPA of 2.67 in their first term and be registered full-time in an eligible program to receive the balance of their award as tuition credit in their second term of study.
