These scholarships were made possible through formalized academic partnerships with higher education institutions in Canada and funded through the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development in Canada.

Through these scholarships our students will have the opportunity to engage in a practical immersive international experience.  They will also be exposed to different cultural and community perspectives that expands their knowledge on their specific area of educational pursuit along with global issues.

We take this opportunity to congratulate these students and we wish them every success as they prepare to embark on an exciting semester aboard.
