The Université de Montréal scholarship program for international students in Canada

The goal of this new program is to help the best talent from around the world attend one of the finest francophone research universities in the world. In turn, these international students will help fulfil our educational mission by enriching the cultural diversity of the Université de Montréal community.

The UdeM exemption scholarship program is designed to support international candidates in their university studies. Starting in the fall of 2020, they could benefit from an exemption from the tuition fees normally charged to international students. The granting of scholarships continues for the winter 2022, summer 2022, fall 2022 and winter 2023 terms.

Who can benefit from this scholarship program?

International students admitted as of Fall 2020:

• Who hold a study permit and who are neither permanent residents nor Canadian citizens.
• Who will be enrolled full-time in a study program throughout their studies.
• Who will not benefit from another form of tuition fee exemption through another policy or measure. For example, French and Belgian Francophone students already benefit from this type of exemption.

Consult the Office of the Registrar website to learn about all exclusions.
