I'm an American high school junior interested in applying to Canadian colleges, but the tuition seems pretty high. Does anyone know of any scholarships available specifically for Americans planning to attend college in Canada?
Absolutely, there are several scholarships available for American students who wish to study in Canada.
1. Canada-United States Fulbright Program: This program primarily funds students for graduate studies, research, and teaching. It may not be directly relevant for you as an incoming undergraduate, but it would be good to keep in mind for the future.
2. Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship: This is a significant scholarship for international students, including Americans, looking to study at the University of Toronto.
3. International Entrance Scholarship of Distinction: This scholarship is for international students applying to York University.
4. Humber College International Entrance Scholarships: Humber offers renewable full and partial scholarships to new international students.
5. Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award: Offered by the University of British Columbia, it is awarded to international students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership skills, and involvement in student affairs and community service.
Please remember that in addition to these, there are also many universities-specific scholarships for international students, so it may be beneficial to research scholarships offered by the specific universities you're considering. Additionally, the dates, values, and specifics of these scholarships may vary year to year, so I advise checking the specific scholarship pages for the most accurate information. Good luck with your applications!
