Export Development Canada (EDC): International Business Scholarships

EDC created the International Business Scholarships because international trade is critical to Canada’s economic prosperity and they are dedicated to helping students – the next generation of business leaders – to succeed. They award up to 30 scholarships annually, 25 of which go to undergraduate university or college students interested in pursuing a career or furthering their studies in international business, with up to five additional scholarships for students in programs which combine business with environmental or sustainability studies. The application process starts in November and ends in February. Scholarships are awarded in spring, and issued in autumn at the start of each academic year.
