Out-of-Province Awards
For undergraduate students
We are pleased to announce new funding opportunities for Canadian students and permanent residents from outside of Quebec. In recognition of your academic achievement, and to help offset the recently announced tuition increases, we are offering new Out-of-Province Awards. These awards, which eligible applicants will automatically be guaranteed, will keep a Concordia education accessible to all Canadians.
