ForsaEduforsaedu.comOpportunity Overview
Université de Sherbrooke exempts full-time international research doctoral students from supplementary fees, so they pay Québec rates. Since winter 2021, everyone enrolled in a research doctorate at Université de Sherbrooke receives an exemption from supplementary tuition fees for every term of full-time enrolment, worth the flat surcharge normally charged to international students, so the student pays the same tuition as Québec students. At master's level the exemption depends on the faculty and programme: for example, health sciences offers it for research master's, law and management offer some exemptions, arts and humanities offers it for the full-time geomatics course-based track, and engineering may offer a few in the third term, while education offers none. The exemption is applied as a billing adjustment, and an application must be made every term by 15 September for fall, 15 January for winter and 15 May for summer. Thesis-writing terms, preparatory terms, courses outside the programme and part-time master's study are not covered. Nationals of the roughly forty countries with a Québec government agreement must first apply to their home country's exemption programme, and the two exemptions cannot be combined for the same term.

About the scholarshipCanadaUniversité de Sherbrooke Admission and Excellence Scholarships 2027
Université de Sherbrooke gives new international bachelor's and course-based master's students CAD 2,000 on admission and up to CAD 12,500 for excellence. International students admitted to a bachelor's or course-based master's programme who pay international tuition receive a CAD 2,000 admission scholarship, paid once in the first term and confirmed automatically after the admission letter is sent. Faculties add excellence and success scholarships selected on the basis of the file: CAD 5,000 to 7,500 at bachelor's level and generally CAD 5,000 to 12,500 for course-based master's, with faculty-specific amounts such as CAD 15,000 for the master's in computer science in the Faculty of Science, CAD 7,500 in physical activity sciences for an admission average of 15/20 or more, and a CAD 4,000 support award plus a CAD 3,500 excellence award in engineering, while management, law, education, arts and humanities and medicine offer no course-based master's excellence awards. French students, French-speaking Belgian students, students already exempt from supplementary fees and preparatory activities are excluded, and excellence awards are not open to students already enrolled. There is no separate scholarship deadline, as the awards follow admission to the university.

Bachelor's applicants now need a CSCA test score. The portal usually opens in November–December 2026; deadlines are set by each embassy or university and typically fall between late November 2026 and April 2027 (bilateral or embassy routes are often earliest). Bachelor's applicants must sit the CSCA test (December or January sessions) before applying. International airfare is not covered.
