This opportunity will commence in the fall of 2025 and is applicable to various disciplines, including those offered by the Telfer School of Management, engineering, science, health sciences, and social sciences.
To be eligible, applicants must fulfill certain requirements, such as being a citizen of an African nation, enrolling in an approved English undergraduate program, and maintaining full-time enrollment. Students who meet the academic standards may qualify for either an excellence scholarship valued at $100,000 or an entrance scholarship of at least $60,000, both distributed over four years.
Collins Enwemasor, the International Recruitment Manager for English-speaking African countries, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, stating, “This scholarship will open doors for many African students, providing access to quality education while easing the financial burden. We’re excited to welcome talented individuals who will contribute to our diverse academic community.”
This scholarship forms part of the University of Ottawa’s extensive international aid program, which exceeds $117 million, positioning it as one of the most generous financial aid offerings in Canada.
