If you are an international student looking to study in Canada, make sure you check out which scholarships are available to you from organisations and universities

Towering mountains, fresh air, azure lakes, abundant wildlife, great universities…Canada attracts thousands of international students every year and for good reason.

However, what isn’t so great is the amount that it costs to study there. Tuition fees are fairly high and in some big cities the cost of living can be quite pricey too. High costs of living can often put international students off studying abroad.

That’s where this guide to scholarships in Canada for international students comes in. There are plenty of government-funded opportunities that students can apply for as well as scholarship funds from universities.

Here’s a broad selection of scholarships that are available to international students looking to study in Canada.
