Are scholarships given monthly or as a one-time amount in Canada for a Master's?

It depends. Scholarships for master's programs in Canada can be awarded either as a one-time payment or in recurring installments, depending on the specific scholarship.

- One-time payment: Some scholarships, like the Dalhousie 1-Year Master’s Scholarship or the Canada Graduate Research Scholarships-Master’s (CGRS M), provide the full amount for the year in a single payment.
- Installments: Others, such as certain University of Alberta awards, may pay out larger amounts in equal installments throughout the year.

Always check the specific terms of each scholarship to understand the payment schedule.
