I'm interested in studying public health in Canada as an international student. I'm on the lookout for any scholarships that might be available to help with costs. Does anyone have leads on public health scholarships in Canada?
Absolutely, scholarships can be a great way to help fund your education, especially as an international student.
The Canadian government offers several scholarships for international students. One notable initiative is the Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program, which provides financial support to students from other Commonwealth countries. Also, the Canada Graduate Scholarships Program gives funding to students engaged in master's or doctoral programs.
Various Canadian universities also offer scholarships specifically for international students. For instance, the University of Toronto provides the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship Program for students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and creativity.
Moreover, there are also field-specific scholarships. To find public health-specific scholarships, I'd suggest reaching out to the specific Public Health Departments at the Canadian universities you're interested in, as they might have department-specific scholarships available.
There are also third-party scholarship databases, such as Appily, which can be used to find scholarships based on specific criteria like your field of study and international student status.
Please keep in mind that the scholarship application process can be competitive, and it's important to start your search early. Good luck with your studies!
