Am I eligible for the Pearson International Scholarship if I plan to start at the University of Toronto in September 2027?

→

→

Yes. Waterloo, UBC and Toronto list entrance awards or graduate funding that Indian students can try, while Manitoba's Graduate Fellowship lists CAD 20,000 yearly (approx INR 13.6 L) for two years of MSc study.
