COST OF STUDY

The Affordable Budget is the biggest reason for selecting Canada As top destination for the world class education system.

SCHOLARSHIP

There are limited scholarships available to study in Canada, but they rarely cover the full cost of a program and are not always easy to find. Scholarships are available to international students with exceptional results at some institutions. The amount awarded varies from one institution to another and usually covers only a segment of a students education and living expenses. Obtaining a scholarship is very competitive and applications must be made directly to each university along with the application for admission. Community and Career Colleges do not usually award scholarships nor do school boards or most private schools. Scholarships depend on whether students are pursuing under graduation or post-graduation in Canada.

Types of Scholarship

Sports Scholarship

• Universities and colleges often encourage students who have a resume which shows proof of a national/state/district level experience in fields of several sports. With the increasing popularity of extracurricular, sports as an area are becoming a crucial factor in the admission process when students decide to study in Canada from India.

Ethnic Scholarships

• Individuals belonging to a particular race/ethnicity are often awarded scholarships in some circumstances, if adequate authentic information is provided to universities. Asian/Pacific Islander Scholarships: - Just as there are scholarships specifically targeted towards Latino, Hispanic, African American, and Native American minority students, there are scholarships solely for Asian or Pacific Islander students. American Indian/Native American Scholarships: - Since there are fewer Native Americans than there are Latinos, Hispanics, and African Americans, there is less competition when it comes to Native American scholarships.

Merit-Based Scholarships

• There are two types of scholarships, those which are awarded by universities and those which are awarded by other organizations. Merit-based scholarships are typically awarded for impeccable academic scores but some merit scholarships are awarded for special talents, potential leaders, or other personal characteristics
