The Canadian institution will receive funding from DFATD for all successful candidates in the form of a contribution agreement and will be responsible for providing the funds to scholarship recipients.

  • CAD 10,200 for college, undergraduate or graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.) for a minimum of four months or one academic term of study or research; or

  • CAD 12,700 for graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.) for a period of five to six months of study or research.
