Canada Scholarships — University Awards, Research Funding and Assistantships

বাংলায় পড়ুন

Canada has few government fully funded master's scholarships for international students. The main route is university funding — funding packages from a supervisor's research grant for thesis-based master's and PhD, plus teaching/research assistantships. Course-based master's mostly get partial awards.
