The Government of Canada announced the Canada-CARICOM Leadership Scholarships Program
The Government of Canada announced the Canada-CARICOM Leadership Scholarships Program in 2007 to promote institutional linkages and provide scholarship opportunities for students from the CARICOM. The program now includes the Canada-CARICOM Faculty Leadership Program (CCFLP) to provide professional development opportunities for faculty wishing to upgrade their knowledge and skills in Canada, and for international managers/administrators who are responsible for promoting student mobility between their home country/territory and Canada.
The Canada-CARICOM Leadership Scholarships Program is a Short-term Exchange Program under Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarships Program.
