Scholarships Canada

Just as promised I managed to come up with a handful of scholarships available to internationals students in Canada. Note that for current information on the scholarship value and application deadline, please visit the website of the institution offering the scholarship. There could be more scholarships available out there so please do not limit your search to the list below.

For an undergraduate scholarship you must have direct entrance from high school/secondary school with no previous studies at university or college.
For a masters or doctorate program you will not have a previous study in a masters or a doctorate program. It must be your first application into the program.

Please pay attention to the specific deadlines and requirement from each institution.
You must possess a valid study permit to remain eligible.
In most cases you have to apply first for admission before you are considered for a scholarship.
To renew the yearly scholarships you must maintain an exceptional academic standing.
Some of these scholarships depend on yearly funding so keep that in mind.
