2013 Premier’s International Scholarships

Three UVic students are among 20 BC recipients of premier’s scholarships for study abroad. Carolyn Tsao (economics/mathematics), Ryan Abbott (Hispanic studies), and Victoria More (law) will receive between $6,000 and $10,000 each in Premier’s International Scholarships from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society to support their enrolment in overseas programs. Tsao is heading to study in China, Abbott to Ecuador and More to Singapore. The society has awarded more than $1.6 million in international scholarships since 2008, when the program was established by the province with a $15-million endowment. The scholarships are awarded once each year. To learn more about how to apply for a scholarship, visit: www.bcscholarship.ca/web/international
