As an international student aiming to study in Canada, I'm trying to find universities that offer scholarships. Does anyone know which institutions are best for financial aid for internationals, or have personal experiences to share?
Sure, quite a few Canadian universities offer scholarships for international students, and I'll touch on a few examples to help you get started in your research.
1. University of British Columbia: This university has the International Major Entrance Scholarship for exceptional international students entering undergraduate programs. The value could be up to the full cost of your tuition for your degree.
2. McGill University: McGill offers a range of scholarships for international students. One to look at is the One-Year Entrance Scholarship, which varies in amount.
3. University of Toronto: Lester B Pearson International Scholarships cover tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years. The scholarship is intended to recognize international students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and creativity.
4. Concordia University: Offers the Concordia International Tuition Award of Excellence which helps support international students with tuition fees.
These are just a few examples, and most universities in Canada will have some kind of financial aid for international students. I recommend that you research each school you're interested in to understand their scholarship offerings, requirements, and deadlines. Remember to also look into external scholarships that are not affiliated with a specific university.
