I'm looking into universities in Canada and hoping to find those that offer full scholarships to international undergraduate students. Does anyone know which schools might be good options for that?
Indeed, several universities in Canada offer generous scholarships to international undergraduates:
1. University of Toronto has the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships, which cover tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support.
2. McGill University provides a variety of scholarships for international students. The most prestigious one is the McCall MacBain Scholarships which cover tuition, fees, and living expenses.
3. The University of British Columbia's International Scholars program offers scholarships that cover a significant portion of tuition. The most extensive one, the Donald A. Wehrung International Student Award, can cover the full financial needs of the student including tuition, fees, and living expenses.
4. University of Waterloo has the International Student Entrance Scholarships which can go up to $10,000 CAD depending on the student's academic achievements.
5. York University offers the Global Leader of Tomorrow Award and the International Entrance Scholarship which both cover a substantial portion of tuition.
Do bear in mind that while these scholarships can be very generous, the competition for them can be quite intense due to the offer being available to international students globally. Therefore, it's essential to present a strong application highlighting academic achievements, and extracurricular accomplishments, and illustrating potential and passion in the area of study you wish to pursue.
