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 (see "Eligiblity" for details).

Award values per student will be approximately:

  • $585 per year for domestic students being assessed continuing tuition fees (year 4 to 6), domestic MDPHD students (year 7 onwards), domestic part-time students (year 6 to 9), and PhD/Diplomas in Dentistry (PHDEDT, PHDORT, PHDPED, PHDPDT, PHDPTH)(years 4 to 6) ($195/term)
  • $810 per year for domestic students being assessed extension tuition fees (year 7 onwards) ($270/term)
  • $930 per year for domestic part-time students (years 1 to 5) ($310/term)
  • $1,260 per year for domestic students being assessed full tuition fees (years 1 to 3), domestic MDPHD students (years 1 to 6), and domestic MPTPHD students (years 1 to 2) ($420/term)
  • $1,500 per year for international students in any year ($500/term)

Note: As with all tuition awards at UBC, students are assigned this funding in three instalments - each instalment is 1/3 of the total annual amount, assigned at the beginning of each term (September, January and May) of the academic year.


 

Eligibility

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.



Application Procedures

The award will be assigned automatically to eligible students; students do not need to apply.
