AWARDS FOR NON-CANADIAN CITIZENS

Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program
This program strengthens bi-national collaborative research and promotes thoughtful public debate on topics that reflect the broad range of contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the United States and the relationship between the two countries. This program operates on the principle of reciprocal exchange and provides the opportunity for the exceptional Canadian and American students and scholars to lecture, research and pursue graduate study in the United States and Canada, respectively. Award recipients include prominent and promising scholars, experienced and junior professionals and exceptional students. While the competition is officially open to all fields, applications in the following areas are given preference: Canada-U.S. relations; comparative public policy; law; international trade; North American integration; communications; culture; ecology and the environment; indigenous issues; border issues; Canadian studies; and American studies. All applicants are required to demonstrate their project's relevance to the Program's mandate, which is to enhance mutual understanding between the two countries.

The Government of Canada offers scholarships as part of the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP). These scholarships are tenable at Canadian universities only. The Canadian Commonwealth Program is designed to provide opportunities for students of other Commonwealth countries to pursue advanced programs in Canada. The Scholarships are intended for men and women of high intellectual promise who may be expected to make a significant contribution to their own countries on their return from study in Canada.
