Opportunity Overview

International recruitment scholarships from Université Laval in Québec City, Canada, a French-language university, for new international students in research master's (with thesis) and doctoral programmes. There are two strands. The excellence strand is worth CAD 20,000 and needs no form: each faculty picks recipients from the best admission files for the summer or fall 2027 sessions and contacts them before the end of March 2027. The engagement strand is worth CAD 20,000 for a master's (CAD 5,000 a session for up to four sessions) and CAD 30,000 for a doctorate (CAD 5,000 a session for up to six sessions); it needs an online form with a referee, and the deadline is 15 January 2027 for admission in the winter, summer or fall 2027 sessions. Applicants must have filed a new admission application and paid its fee, study full time and hold a valid Canadian study permit when payments are made. Professional master's, bachelor's, certificates and postdoctoral positions are not eligible. The scholarship does not cover the full cost of study and living in Québec. Results usually come in early March, and recipients have 15 days to accept the admission offer, pay the tuition deposit and accept the scholarship.
