Looking for scholarships available for US citizens who want to study in Canada. Are there any specific programs or institutions offering support for American students, and what's the process for applying to these scholarships?
Absolutely, there are a number of scholarships available for American students wanting to study in Canada.
Many Canadian universities offer scholarships specifically for international students, which include US students. They can vary in terms of coverage; some might cover tuition only, while others could also include living expenses. For example, the University of British Columbia (UBC) offers the International Leader of Tomorrow Award for international students demonstrating superior academic achievement, leadership skills, involvement in student affairs and community service. The University of Toronto also has numerous scholarships for international students.
To apply for this scholarship, you will generally need to first apply to the university. Often, you will be considered for scholarships once you apply for admission. Other times, there may be supplemental applications that need to be filled out, so make sure to pay close attention to the application requirements on each university's financial aid website.
Lastly, outside scholarship databases or search engines like the one available on Appily can be great resources to find more potential scholarships for Americans studying in Canada. These databases can be organized by your field of study, the level of study, and by the specific Canadian province, among other factors.
Remember, most scholarship deadlines coincide with college application deadlines, so plan accordingly to ensure you don't miss out on these opportunities. Happy scholarship hunting!
