Overview

Many Canadian universities offer entrance scholarships to international students upon admission to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programs. These awards are designed to recognize academic excellence and support students in their studies.

Coverage

Benefits vary significantly by institution. Some scholarships are automatic, while others require a separate application. Amounts range from small merit-based awards to substantial financial aid packages.

Eligibility

International students, including those from Ethiopia, are eligible to apply for admission to Canadian universities. Eligibility for specific scholarships depends on the individual university's criteria.

Requirements

Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the specific Canadian university they are applying to. This typically includes academic transcripts, proof of English or French language proficiency, and sometimes letters of recommendation or personal statements.

How to apply

Most entrance scholarships do not require a separate application; students are automatically considered upon applying for admission. However, some specific awards require a separate application process. You should visit the official website of your chosen university and check their 'Financial Aid' or 'Scholarships' section for specific instructions.

Notes

Because this is a collection of opportunities across multiple institutions, there is no single deadline. You must check the specific admission and scholarship deadlines for each university you are interested in.
