The University of Victoria is currently awarding International Student Support Awards and opportunities to academically outstanding international students. The exact number of scholarships varies each year, depending on available funding. Scholarships for international students range in value from $3,000 to $10,000.
The university received degree-granting status in 1963. The origins of UVic, however, can be traced back to 1903 and the establishment of Victoria College, our predecessor institution. The three martlets—footless heraldic birds—on the UVic shield refer to those on the crest of McGill University, with which Victoria College was originally affiliated.
The university mottoes, shown on the UVic Coat of Arms, are ‘Let there be light’ (in Hebrew) and ‘A multitude of the wise is the health of the world’ (in Latin).
The UVic Edge combines three elements: dynamic learning, vital impact and their extraordinary academic environment.
Together, these three elements nurture an environment of discovery, innovation and creativity. The Edge fortifies the work in sustainability and healthy societies. It shapes the school’s world view with diverse perspectives, including those from Indigenous and international communities. It fuels their commitment to economic well-being, technological advances and social justice.
