The Government of Canada’s Veterans Education and Training Benefit is designed to help Canadian veterans achieve their education and career goals. If you’re a Canadian veteran, you may be eligible to receive up to $80,000 in funding toward a UBC degree.
To be eligible for the Veterans Education and Training Benefit:
The value of the benefit will vary depending on your length of service: $40,000 for at least six years of service and $80,000 for at least 12 years of service.
Choose a degree, review your admission requirements, and apply to UBC by January 15. Your admission requirements will vary, depending on whether you’re a mature student or a transfer student from another university or college.
Once you receive an offer of admission from UBC, submit a Veterans Education and Training Benefit application to Veteran Affairs Canada.
For more information on eligibility requirements, how the program works, and when payments are disbursed, please visit the Veteran Affairs Canada website.
