The application window for the academic year 2024-2025 is currently open. The deadline for applications from eligible applicants is March 19, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST, for Canadian universities.
Study in Canada. With the help of scholarships, more Canadian post-secondary institutions will be able to accept foreign students on short-term study or research exchanges from a variety of nations and territories. Institutions will be able to showcase their academic and research quality in new markets and expand and enhance their international connections as a result.
The new relationships forged by the program will fortify bilateral ties, diversify and enhance Canada’s educational engagement with a wide range of partners, and support the government of Canada’s larger endeavors to diversify its foreign commerce.
As part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarships Program, the Study in Canada Scholarships are a short-term exchange initiative.
