2026 Study In Canada Scholarship Program (SICP)

About the scholarship

The Educanada Scholarship provides students from post-secondary institutions with a $14,000 funding to cater for tuition and living expenses.

The EduCanada Scholarship aims to support students with short-term exchange opportunities for undergraduate and graduate study or research in Canadian institutions.

Successful Canadian post-secondary institutions will have the opportunity to strengthen and diversify their international linkages and to promote their academic and research excellence in the new markets.

The Study In Canada Scholarship Program (SICP) is an initiative of the Government of Canada for international students to pursue degree programs at Canadian higher institutions.

The Study in Canada Scholarships (SICS) will be administered under an adjusted delivery model in which Canadian institutions are responsible for the selection of students.
