Study in Canada Scholarships

The Study in Canada Scholarships aim to increase opportunities for Canadian post-secondary institutions to welcome international students from a wide range of countries and territories for short-term exchanges in study or research. This initiative provides institutions the chance to strengthen and diversify their international connections and promote their academic and research excellence in new markets.

The program fosters new connections, diversifying and enriching Canada's educational engagement with a diverse range of partners. It strengthens bilateral ties and complements the Government of Canada's broader international trade diversification efforts.

The Study in Canada Scholarships is a short-term exchange program under Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarships Program.
