The University of Washington is offering a scholarship of $12,000 for one UVic student to participate in a year-long exchange (UVic Winter Session 2021-22). The Corbett British Columbia-Washington Exchange Program helps students from UW, UVic, and UBC build an understanding and appreciation for the relationship between the United States and Canada, and the unique shared values of the Pacific Northwest region. The successful applicant would participate in this program as a student in the International Student Services (ISS) Exchange Program.

COVID-19 Information:
- We cannot predict what the 2021-22 academic year will look like. While we are unsure about the possibility of in-person exchanges at this time, we are still moving forward with applications. But, if travel restrictions are in-place in the fall, UW will be offering a Virtual Exchange Scholarship option, with a smaller scholarship amount.
If you are interested in the scholarship and going to the University of Washington for the 2021-22 academic year as part of the ISS Exchange Program, please try to come to the information session this Friday. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email the ISS Exchange Team at goglobal@uvic.ca
