The Quebec Scholarship for Vocational Education in Canada is currently open for applications. The objective of the Excellence and Tuition Waiver Scholarship Program for international students in vocational training is to support the internationalization of vocational training institutions in Québec, to offer international students who have distinguished themselves in an exceptional way the opportunity to study vocational training in Québec and to promote the maintenance of a wide range of vocational training opportunities.
The Excellence and Exemption Scholarship programs are aimed exclusively at vocational training, i.e. short training programs focused on learning a trade and integrating into the labour market. The scholarship programs are NOT intended for college or university training leading to a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree. These two programs (Excellence Scholarships and Tuition Exemption) are funded by the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec (MEQ) and managed by Éducation internationale and its service Québec métiers d’avenir. A single application process is used for both programs. This competition is for vocational training starting in August 2023
