UBC Okanagan Athletics

The University of British Columbia provides students with more than a world-class education.

Our varsity athletics program at UBC’s Okanagan campus features nationally recognized coaches, outstanding facilities, and high-quality competitive opportunities. With membership in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (U Sport) (men’s and women’s basketball, soccer and volleyball), the Canadian Collegiate Athletics' Associa-tion (CCAA) (men’s and women’s golf and cross-country running), and club competition for men’s and women’s rugby, UBC's Okana-gan campus is committed to post-secondary sport.

Our goal is to attract high-achieving students with the athletic ability required to be competitive at the national level. We recruit these students from within the Okanagan Valley, throughout the province, and across the country. Our Athletics Scholarship Endowment helps us provide the financial assistance needed to attract and support these outstanding UBC student athletes.

Creating the endowment

Exceptional athletics programs are built with the help of excep-tional supporters. Being a UBC student athlete requires a substan-tial commitment of time and effort throughout the entire academic year. UBC is dedicated to providing the financial support to ensure our student athletes receive both a quality athletic and academic experience. Through your contribution, you are helping to build upon and improve this outstanding varsity athletics program.

Matching your donation

The University of British Columbia recognizes the value of varsity sport as a vital component of a university education and has demonstrated this recognition by offering to match the gift portion of all ticket sales for the Athletics Scholarship Breakfast. Our goal is to build an endowment that will provide support for our student athletes today and for decades to come.

This endowment is a fast-growing component of our student athlete financial assistance program. To date, more than $750,000 has been raised from Breakfast proceeds. As a result, some $23,400 in awards is available this year to our student athletes.

UBC would like to thank Valley First for their ongoing and gener-ous support of our scholarship programs. 2017 marks Valley First’s twelfth year as title sponsor of this event.

MEGAN FESTIVALWomen’s Volleyball, UBC Okanagan Heat

Megan Festival is a graduating fifth-year student from Calgary, Alberta, completing her final year in the Management program at UBCO. She joined the UBC Okanagan’s Women’s Volleyball

Team in 2012 and had the opportunity of playing two years alongside her older sister, Jillian Festival. Having only played in the CIS league, she has experienced the tremendous growth and success the Women’s Volleyball Team has accomplished in five short years. During her time at UBCO, Megan has been an integral part of the volleyball team’s successes, most notably the program’s bronze medal finish at the 2016 CIS National Championship tournament last March. Megan’s enrolment in UBCO’s Management program has provided her with the opportunity to work with local businesses and participate in case competitions. In both the Third Year Management Live Case Competition and the John Molson Sports Marketing Case Competition, Megan and her teams were selected as finalists. A leader in the classroom as well as on the volleyball court, she has been recognized three times as being an Academic All-Canadian. Her final year will be spent exploring her interest in Finance, serving as teaching assistant for a Management IT class and battling for a gold medal at the CIS Women’s Volleyball Nationals.
