Supporting gifted education and fighting for the future of young talent

The University Transition Program (UTP) has been instrumental in providing specialized support for gifted students who need more than a traditional school setting can offer.
Over its 30-year history, UTP has shaped the future of gifted education in Vancouver and beyond, offering a unique, academically rigorous environment that nurtures talented young minds.
Every donation contributes directly to the legal fund, helping us take the necessary steps to safeguard UTP’s future.
All contributions will be transparently accounted for, with updates on our progress published regularly. Your generosity can help ensure that gifted learners continue to receive the exceptional education they deserve.


As the future of UTP hangs in the balance, we need your help to preserve its legacy. Your support is essential to sustaining the legal efforts aimed at reinstating the program’s 2025/2026 intake. We invite alumni, parents, educators, and supporters of gifted education to stand together in this important cause.
Please share the petition and help raise awareness to support UTP!
