General Requirements:

Important information for applicants:

• For undergraduate applications for a research-based experience, a written institutional collaboration and student exchange agreement or memorandum of understanding between the Canadian institution and the candidate’s home institution is desirable but not mandatory. Instead of an agreement, you will be required to provide a Letter of Invitation from the University of Alberta professor who has agreed to supervise you.
• For graduate applications, an inter-institutional agreement is desirable but not mandatory. If there is no existing exchange agreement, graduate applications that involve a new or established collaboration between professors from a Canadian institution and the candidate’s home institution will be accepted.
• Applications and required supporting documents should be submitted directly to the University of Alberta International by candidates or their home institution through our electronic application form. Applications entered directly by candidates through Momentum, the Government’s scholarship portal, will not be accepted. The University of Alberta International is responsible for submitting eligible applications received before our internal deadline through Momentum on the candidate’s behalf.
• Student applicants must be enrolled full-time in their proposed degree program at the time of application. For example, if the application period falls during a gap between the student’s Master’s and Ph.D. enrollment, unfortunately, they will not be deemed eligible for the 2024-2025 scholarship year. If this situation applies to you, CBIE recommends applying next year.
