Background

The Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program is celebrating 50 years! Since the plan’s inception in 1959, the Government of Canada has provided scholarships of excellence to all member countries of the Commonwealth. The CCSP goal is to promote Canadian values and identity around the world and to help meet the human capital needs of developing countries.

Canada also played a leadership role in the establishment of the international Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan and is the largest contributor to this program after the United Kingdom.
Structure

The Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program is facilitated through student exchange agreements between Canadian and regional institutions. These student exchange agreements are created between universities for graduate students. Scholarship recipients remain registered as full time students in their home institution during this exchange.
Description

* Graduate Students Exchanges (GSEP) are hosted by Canadian institutions for a period of five or six months and provide up to $10,000 to cover transportation, living and other related expenses during the students’ stay in Canada.

Role of the institution

The role of the non-Canadian institution is key to the success of the scholarships as the student exchanges are predicated upon institutional agreements and collaborations. Non-Canadian institutions are encouraged to communicate with partner institutions in Canada to facilitate student exchange opportunities. The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) provides a database of international exchange agreements which, while not exhaustive, does provide a list of some existing agreements.

The Non-Canadian institutions are also invited to promote the program through their International offices and may wish to identify the names of interested students to the Canadian partner institution which will be making the scholarship applications.
