Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Program
The Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Program (BTSP) aims to graduate the next generation of Black leaders.
As a program, we believe leadership is a fluid, influential practice rooted in love, agency, care, and knowing yourself. It means embracing your unique identities, using your voice and strengths, learning from your experiences, and co-creating your UBC journey to build something that lasts beyond tomorrow.
This leadership challenges and reshapes systemic barriers, equipping you to define who you’re meant to be, and lifts others as you grow.
Shaping your journey
As a Beyond Tomorrow Scholar, you will be joining a community of leaders and changemakers on the UBCO and UBC Vancouver Campuses. You will be a co-creator of your academic, career experiences and leadership experiences. Every academic year at UBC will bring new experiential opportunities to aid you in your journey, with numerous supports provided by a cross-campus network of people who are here to champion you.
As a Scholar you will:
- Complete a globally recognized degree in the undergraduate program of your choice
- Experience growth in your leadership and career goals through mentorship, structured programs and experiential opportunities
- Gain a better understanding of your finances, health and wellbeing through direct support and cross campus network partners
- Reciprocate with mentorship and build meaningful relationships

Contribute to the Program
Not a student but want to contribute meaningfully? The Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Program welcomes interest from community partners, especially those identifying with the Black lived experience, on event collaboration or promotion, career and growth opportunities to Scholars.
Scholars don’t become the leaders the world needs on their own. They need the support of family, friends, and a wider community of donors who recognize their potential and commit to helping them find pathways to success
