UBC Farm Practicum Application Form

Program Dates

For the 2026 program, we have two options for program enrollment dates. The majority of spaces available in the program will be for the full program: April 16 – October 24, 2026.

In addition, we will have limited spaces available for a summer-only option: April 16 – August 22. This option is primarily intended to serve university students with scheduling conflicts; however, people in other circumstances may also be considered. Since there will be few spaces for this option, we encourage you to only apply for this option if your schedule truly prohibits you from attending the full program.

Applications Accepted on a Rolling Basis

Applications will be accepted until the spots are filled. As spots are limited, please apply early. We will reach out to you for an interview if you have been selected. Interviews will begin early November.

Application Fee

An application fee of $40 CAD is required for your submission to be considered. The payment link will be in the email confirmation after you submit your application.

Bursary

Participating in the UBC Farm Practicum program does not provide eligibility for student financial aid. However, we will be offering bursaries to applicants on a rolling basis. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of receiving a bursary! If you are interested in a bursary, please answer the question in this form.

Additional questions?

If you have additional questions about the program, we invite you to review the details available on our website. If you are an international student and have questions regarding applying: yes, we do accept applications from international students; however, unfortunately, we're unable to assist in questions regarding immigration, visa, etc. For other inquiries, please contact Katherine Aske, Practicum Coordinator: katherine.aske@ubc.ca

Only completed applications will be considered. A full application consists of:
