$0 Award
Yesterday an (un)lucky student by the name of Dylan received an email from the UBC Awards Office congratulating him on earning the Chancellor's Scholar Award, a scholarship designed to "recognize the outstanding academic achievements of high-school and post-secondary students."
Dylan received $0.00 for his academic excellence.
He vented his frustrations in a Reddit post entitled "Thanks UBC!" noting that the situation felt like a "bad practical joke." We're inclined to agree.

Others in the thread confirmed that this had happened to them too, and added their frustration at the "non-award."
