There are a number of Canadian scholarships for African students if you know where to look.
Known as the Land of Lakes and composed of 10 provinces, Canada is home to beautiful landscapes such as Niagara Falls and historical gems like Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It’s why Canada is a popular higher education destination for international students. They love the country for how welcoming it is and its list of inviting post-graduate work opportunities.
After all, Canada issued 638,280 study permits for international students in 2019, according to Erudera.
What’s more, it is also a cheaper alternative than studying in the US.
On average, the annual tuition fees for the 2019-20 academic term showed that fees at Canadian unis cost were cheaper than US unis. The difference in prices amounted to US$4,000.
Financial aid is also generous — some Canadian universities offer application fee waivers for international students.
