I'm looking for international scholarships available to Canadian students. Are there well-known programs or initiatives that specifically support students from Canada who want to study in other countries? Any personal experiences or recommended resources would be great!
There's a variety of scholarships available to Canadian students who wish to study internationally. Some notable programs include:
- The "Canadian Rhodes Scholars Foundation" provides scholarships for students from Canada to the University of Oxford in the UK. Candidates must demonstrate outstanding scholarly achievements, character, commitment to others and their community, and potential leadership.
- The "Study Overseas Global Learning Grants" by Universities Canada is also beneficial. This scholarship program aims to build stronger ties between Canada and participating Asia-Pacific economies. Available to Canadian students enrolled at Universities Canada member institutions.
- The "Global Affairs Canada" also provides multiple scholarships for study and research programs for Canadian students intending to study abroad. They offer scholarships in various regions including the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe.
Remember, it's not just general scholarships to consider. Many universities offer country-specific scholarships. Therefore, once you have shortlisted universities, it's a good idea to check their website for any specific scholarships they might be offering to Canadian students.
In addition to these direct scholarship programs, you can check out resources like Yconic and ScholarshipsCanada, websites that provide databases of scholarships available to Canadian students, which you can further narrow down by field of study, university, and other relevant factors.
Good luck with your scholarship search!
