About OAS Scholarships

Consortium Universities: As a prospective OAS scholarship applicant, you have the option to apply directly to up to three programs offered by universities or educational institutions from the OAS Consortium of Universities list. These institutions are located in up to three specific countries. To be eligible, you must select at least distinct countries of study within your OAS Program application. Choosing this type of scholarship increases your chances of being awarded one by the OAS. Please note that under this option, the OAS reserves the right to select a country of study or research for selected candidates.

Scholarships in a Non-OAS Consortium University: Alternatively, you can apply directly for admission to the universities or educational institutions of your choice and subsequently apply for an OAS scholarship. Your educational pursuit must be carried out on a full-time basis and can be pursued through on-site learning, online education, or a combination of both.

Rewards

The OAS scholarship is a gateway to educational advancement, and it comes with a range of enticing benefits, assigned on a case-by-case basis. These benefits may include:

  • A round-trip economy-class airfare ticket from Canada to the United States of your study.
  • Tuition fees and obligatory fees for your academic program.
  • A monthly complementary subsistence allowance (for on-site applicants only).
  • Medical insurance (for on-site applicants only).
  • A fixed annual book allowance.

However, it’s essential to note that OAS scholarship recipients will need to provide proof of additional funds to cover their monthly subsistence expenses.

Scholarship Duration

OAS scholarships are tenable for a minimum of one academic year, which must commence between August 2024 and December 2024. If you’ve already started a graduate program, you are still eligible to apply for these scholarships. Furthermore, the scholarship can be renewed once for a total of academic years, subject to the availability of funding, maintaining an excellent academic status during the first year, and confirmation by the educational institution that the award renewal is necessary for you to complete your study program.

To qualify for OAS scholarships, applicants must:

  • Be Canadian citizens or permanent residents in Canada.
  • Have completed the prerequisite degree(s) required for the proposed study program at the time of application.
