I'm exploring the possibility of studying in Canada but am concerned about costs. Can anyone share some scholarships available for international students? I'd love to know more about options for 2025 or general ones.
Canada is increasingly attracting international students with its commitment to quality education and its reputation for tolerance and peace. It provides a rich experience and booming opportunities for its students. Subsequently, several scholarships are designed to aid international students.
One such scholarship is by the University of Toronto which offers the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship Program for international students who want to pursue their undergraduate studies at the University. This scholarship will cover tuition, housing, books, and other incidental fees.
If you're thinking of studying in British Columbia, the University of British Columbia's International Leader of Tomorrow Award recognizes international undergraduate students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, leadership skills, and involvement in student affairs and community service.
The Canadian Government also offers the International Scholarships Program, inviting students from a range of countries (including students referred by faculty) to pursue studies/research in Canada.
The competition gets intense for scholarships. Therefore, it's recommended to begin researching and preparing well in advance, making sure to understand the eligibility criteria and ensure that all application elements are submitted on time. Research for more opportunities as well, as this is not an exhaustive list, but it's a good starting point.
