About award offers
- Due to UBC’s award data retention policy, a maximum of 7 years of your award history will be stored and available to download.
- You’ll be reviewing your award offers through the new Learner Financial Support Management (LFSM) system.
- You will only find offer letter PDFs for award offers that have been accepted in the LFSM system. If you’ve accepted an award through the Student Service Centre (SSC) previously, please note that the award offer letter will not be available in the new LFSM system.

Accept in reduced amount
If you are already receiving a scholarship or funding package that has additional funding restrictions, you can “Accept in Reduced Amount”.
For example, your existing scholarship or funding package may only allow you to accept additional awards of up to $1,000 annually. If your new award offers you more than this amount, you can accept the award in a reduced amount so you still meet your funding requirements.

Accept in title only
If you are already receiving a scholarship or funding package that has additional funding restrictions, you can “Accept in Title Only”.
For example, your existing scholarship or funding package may not allow you to accept other awards. By accepting an offer in title only, you will not receive the funding but the award name will still be included in your award history and printed on your official UBC transcript.
- To accept your offer, click the white “Accept in title only” button at the bottom left of the page.
