Exchange and Travelling Fellowships

Embassies, consulates and commissions of foreign countries located in Canada also are excellent sources of information on funding opportunities for students intending to study abroad. Addresses and telephone numbers of all diplomatic representatives in Canada can be obtained from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada in Ottawa at 613-996‑4376 www.international.gc.ca/education. Another helpful site is www.educationau-incanada.ca. For McGill students seeking funding for graduate study outside Canada, the graduate awards offices of foreign universities themselves are often the best source of information. The McLennan Library has a vast collection of foreign university catalogues. The French embassy in Ottawa has a complete website on France‑Canada exchange programs at http://ambafrance-ca.org.

McGill University has signed a number of agreements with universities in other countries, many of which include a student exchange component. As a member of the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities (CREPUQ), McGill also participates in a number of student exchange programs with designated universities in the United States and Europe. Further information on such programs may be obtained from the Student Exchange Officer, McGill University, Service Point, 3415 McTavish Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 0C8. Telephone: 514-398‑8342.

The Foreign Government Awards are intended to assist Canadian students in furthering their studies or conducting research abroad at the Master's, Doctoral or Postdoctoral level. As part of the implementation of cultural agreements with the Government of Canada, the governments of Chile, Colombia, Germany, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, and Russia will offer awards to Canadian graduate students tenable in 2011-2012. These awards have been combined to form the Foreign Government Awards (FGA) Program, which is administered by the CBIE. The governments of Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Spain also offer awards to Canadian students. However, the embassies of these countries in Canada are responsible for the administration of their scholarships.

A common condition is that the applicant be a Canadian citizen and have completed a first degree.

Although all of the awards are similar in nature, the value of each award is determined by the offering country. Most awards cover travel to and from the host country, tuition and registration fees, and a monthly living allowance. Several awards also cover books, mandatory health and accident insurance and various other allowances

Deadlines for submission of applications vary depending on whether the competitions are administered by the CBIE or by each of the Embassies in Canada. Please also note that the forms provided on the website can only be used for those competitions administered by the CBIE. Forms for those competitions directly administered by the Embassies in Canada of participating countries must be obtained from the relevant Embassy or Consulate. See the website for Embassy contact information. For more information on deadlines and submission information: www.scholarships.gc.ca.

The IDB administers two scholarship programs: the Japan Scholarship Program for graduate students in development-related fields, and scholarships to attend social development courses offered by INDES. Candidates must be a national of one of IDB borrowing member countries. For the Japan Scholarship Program, candidates must hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent in the social sciences, business or public administration, or another development-related technical discipline, have a superior academic record, at least two years work experience in a development field, and be currently enrolled in a Master's degree program in the social sciences, business or public administration, or another development-related technical discipline (except law and medicine), in a university of a member country other than the country of origin or residence. Applicants must intend to return to their home country after completion of study and work for at least two years in order to apply enhanced knowledge and skills toward helping accelerate economic and social development.
The Japan-IDB Scholarship Program has the following three sub-programs: the Northern Hemisphere Program (at Universities located in the North America, Central America and Europe), the Southern Hemisphere Program (at Universities located in the South America countries), and the Special Program for Studies at Japanese Universities for students entering a Master's program, in English, at any university located in Japan.

INDES scholarships cover participation, required materials and texts, health and life insurance, a roundtrip airline ticket between the city of residence and Washington D.C., and lodging.
The Japan-IDB scholarship provides benefits covering full tuition, university medical and accident insurance, an installation allowance, a monthly subsistence allowance, a book allowance, and economy class travel.

The IDRC administers a number of fellowships and funding opportunities for students conducting research in development-related disciplines. As there are several programs targeting several different areas, students are advised to consult the IDRC website (http://publicwebsite.idrc.ca) to see if such funding opportunities are applicable to their research. As the programs are related to development, many support research abroad. Those included here support some form of research outside of Canada or are available to international students from developing countries. Programs available to Canadians and permanent residents, as well as those that are more topic-based and do not necessarily include travel and research abroad are listed above, and below the IDRC entry in the External Fellowships section (Section 3.6). Each of the programs supported by the IDRC is also available as targeted funding for students from developing countries. See the IDRC website for more details.

The International Federation of University Women offers a limited number of fellowships and grants to women graduates for advanced research, study and training. The competitions are normally held every two years. Competitions are open to nationals of all countries who are members of the IFUW. Women graduates can become IFUW members by joining one of the federations or associations of university women affiliated to IFUW, such as the Canadian Federation of University Women, or by becoming an independent member, if they live in a country without an IFUW affiliate. Fellowships are meant to encourage advanced scholarship and original research by university women. Applicants must be well started on the research program to which the application refers. Fellowships are for eight to 12 months of work, and should be taken up within nine months of the date of award. They are not normally given for a Master’s or for the first year of a Ph.D. program. Fellowships and grants are for work in any branch of learning, in the country of the applicant's choice. All candidates must have obtained admission to the proposed place of study prior to applying to IFUW's competition. An official letter of acceptance must accompany the application. The awards provide a maximum of 12 months support and are not renewable.

The Rotary Club organization offers funding, entitled “Ambassadorial Scholarships”: The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. The program sponsors academic year scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host country. Applicants must have completed at least two years of college-level coursework or equivalent professional experience before commencing their scholarship studies. Applicants for Academic-Year must be proficient in the language of the proposed host country.

Depends on the award program, but the most common scholarship, the Academic-Year Ambassadorial, is intended to help cover round-trip transportation, tuition, fees, room and board expenses, and some educational supplies up to USD$27,000 or its equivalent.

Set by the individual sponsoring club (usually between March and August).

Deadline and scholarship availability varies depending on the local to which one applies. To find your local, see the club locator at: www.rotary.org/en/Members/RunningAClub/Pages/ridefault.aspx. Applications must be made through a Rotary Club in the area of the applicant's permanent residence or place of employment.
