Hello mikki001,
Thanks for your question!
A number of Canadian universities and colleges offer scholarships for
deserving international students. Two in particular ? The University
of Alberta and St. Thomas University ? stood out as having a greater
selection than most. Most institutions offer at least a couple, but
first-year students often aren't eligible. The list below contains a
variety of first-year international student scholarships offered by
Canadian institutions, in no particular order.
