FINALLY! CANADIAN GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS| APPLY NOW
The first place to look for information is the Canadian Government’s International Scholarships Page.
This online resource allows international students to look up available scholarships in Canada based on their country of origin.
In this case, a Nigerian looking for a study in Canada scholarship will have to go to the page that contains scholarships/awards available to foreign students for study/research in Canada, select your country of origin as “Nigeria”, then review the list of scholarships for which you are eligible to apply.
Provincial & Territorial Scholarships/Awards for International Students
Canadian provinces and territories from time to time develop their own scholarship and award programs for international students, so it is a good idea that a Nigerian undergraduate or graduate student, who is looking for a scholarship to study in Canada, visit the Ministry of Education Website of the province in Canada where they intend to study.
