Collegedunia $1000 Dream Scholarship

Canada seems to be a one of the most desired destinations for students to study and stay. The number of international students enrolling to Canadian universities has been on a tremendous rise. The growth rate has been in double digits since four consecutive years. And, India continues to play a big part in Canada’s International student growth rate. Various factors such as affordability, lenient study visa approvals, higher post-study work options, and education quality contribute to the emergence of Canada as a lucrative study destination.

On average, the cost of study for an international student in Canada is nearly INR 15 Lakh per year. To ease out the burden, Collegedunia has planned a ‘dream’ scholarship for International students studying in Canada.

What is Collegedunia $1000 Dream Scholarship?
As the cost of study and cost of living increases in Canada, Collegedunia has taken the initiative to ease out the monetary burden. Collegedunia $1000 Dream Scholarship is about fulfilling your dream by writing a small essay and meeting the set eligibility criteria.

All you need to do is, meet the eligibility criteria, fill-up the form, submit an original piece of content on the topic “Why did you choose this course or university?”

Where Can you Avail $1000 Dream Scholarship?
International students who wish to pursue higher education in any reputed college/university in Canada can avail the Collegedunia Dream Scholarship. Some of the top universities accepting this scholarship include:

• University of Toronto (U of T)
• University of British Columbia
• McGill University
• University of Montreal
• University of Calgary
• University of Waterloo

Higher education in Canada might not be as expensive as studying in the UK or the USA. However, it is by no means inexpensive. On an average, an international student has to pay around $20,530 USD per year for an undergraduate program. The cost of rent, utilities, food and other necessities amounts no less than $9,000 per year. Keeping this in mind, pursuing a degree program from even the cheapest universities in Canada would require an international candidate to spend a considerable sum of money.

The Work-Study program in Canada allows 20 hours of weekly work for international students during study period. The work time is extended upto a maximum of 40 hours per week during holidays. Students may be able to support their stay considerably by opting for work-study but they’d have to sacrifice on the holidays. Moreover, some programs may require a high amount of course work and participating extensively in the Work-Study program might hamper the academic performance. Hence, it is always a good idea to seek as many funding/scholarships as available.
