Fulbright Canada Graduate Studies Award

The Fulbright Canada Graduate Studies Award offers a unique opportunity for American students to enroll in graduate-level programs (Master's or Ph.D.) at Canadian universities. The award provides USD 25,000 as a fixed sum for one eight-month academic year (September to April) to help offset tuition, fees, cost of living, and related expenses. Fulbright Canada is especially keen to support students in areas such as Arctic studies, artificial intelligence, economics and business, Canadian-American relations, energy security and environmental studies, entrepreneurship, Indigenous studies, law and public policy, public health, public safety, pure and applied sciences, and shared priorities of the two governments. All applicants are required to demonstrate the relevance of their projects to Fulbright Canada's mandate, which is to enhance mutual understanding between the United States and Canada. The program includes enrichment opportunities such as Fall Orientation in Ottawa, a Mobility Program, Professional Development Program, and access to Community Action and Community Leadership Programs. Candidates must apply directly for acceptance to their Canadian graduate program coincident with their Fulbright application, and finalists must provide a letter of acceptance to the degree program prior to grant start.
