- Awards will only be made to those applicants who register for full-time studies (defined as 60% or more of a full course load) at a BC public post-secondary institution.
- Applicants must be enrolling in full time studies in a program that is at least one academic year in duration, and that leads to a credential upon successful completion.

Should the student be unable to participate in the planned studies after being awarded the scholarship, she/he will have to notify the institution's One World Scholarship representative immediately. In this case, any scholarship funds already paid out to the student will have to be returned to the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society immediately.
