Best colleges in Canada for scholarships?

I'm exploring options in Canada for my college education and was curious about which institutions offer the best scholarships. Any insights into schools known for generous scholarship programs would be really helpful.

a year ago

There are several Canadian universities that are particularly known for their generous scholarship opportunities:

1. University of Toronto: As one of the top universities in the world, U of T offers both merit and need-based aid. Their Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship Program is one of their most prestigious, covering tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years.

2. McGill University: It's not only renowned for its academic rigor but also has robust scholarships. McGill's Entrance Scholarship Program and "One-Year Entrance Scholarships" can offer up to CAD 3,000 for applicants.

3. University of British Columbia: International students have a shot at UBC's International Scholars Program which can cover a significant portion — or even the full amount — of a student's tuition. They can also apply for the Outstanding International Student (OIS) Award.

4. University of Alberta: Offers more than CAD 28 million (~21.5 million USD) in undergraduate scholarships each year, and the UAlberta Scholarships are automatically considered with application to the university.

5. York University: Known for its "Global Leader of Tomorrow Award" for international students, it covers full tuition, books, and living costs based on financial need.

Remember, these are just some examples. Other universities also offer scholarships, so it's a good idea to check each institution's website for specific scholarship programs and eligibility criteria. Applying for scholarships can be competitive, so make sure to have a strong application and check all the deadlines.
