Alpha Gamma Delta Entrance Award Application

Alpha Gamma Delta is an international women’s organization committed to providing opportunities for personal development, service to others and a lifelong community. Inspired by common values, Alpha Gamma Delta connects, empowers and celebrates our members to lead lives of significance that positively impact their communities.  The Alpha Gamma Delta UBC Entrance Award is a $2,000 award for an outstanding all-round female secondary school graduate entering the University of British Columbia (UBC) – Vancouver in September 2025. We look for students with a sense of purpose who exemplify the values that have defined Alpha Gamma Delta since our founding in 1904.

Application deadline: March 31, 2025.

Identifying young women with the potential to lead for a lifetime means getting to know students beyond their academic achievements. The selection process for the Alpha Gamma Delta UBC Entrance Award seeks those who share our values:

1. the pursuit of wisdom
2. developing and prizing health and vigour of body
3. contributing to the world’s work in the communities where we are placed
4. holding truth inviolable, sincerity essential, kindness invaluable
5. possessing high ideals and working to attain them

Applicants must:

1. identify as a woman
2. have applied to UBC – Vancouver with the intent to enter their first year of study in September 2025

While we hope applicants will consider joining a sorority at UBC, neither participation in recruitment nor membership in any sorority is a requirement of this award. No applicant, including the recipient, will be given any preference in membership selection during UBC Sororities Recruitment.

The application deadline is March 31 of each year. Along with the online form, applicants must submit a reference letter, evidence of their UBC application (and acceptance, if applicable), and current (unofficial) transcript.

Shortlisted candidates may be invited to a Finalist Interview and Reception with UBC alumnae in April, held in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Finalists unable to attend in person will be given the opportunity for an online interview.

The Alpha Gamma Delta UBC Entrance Award is managed by the Vancouver Foundation. The award winner will be announced once the selected finalist has confirmed her acceptance of UBC’s offer of admission. The award will be paid by the Vancouver Foundation directly to UBC to be applied towards the recipient’s student account.
