Aga Khan Foundation Canada Scholarship

The Aga Khan Foundation Canada Scholarship is a prestigious funding opportunity designed to support outstanding students from developing countries pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate studies at accredited Canadian institutions. Administered by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, this scholarship program aims to develop effective leaders and scholars who will contribute to positive social and economic change in their home communities. The scholarship covers tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of the degree program, with priority given to master’s level studies. Applicants must demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, genuine financial need, and a strong commitment to returning to their home country to contribute to development initiatives. The selection process is highly competitive and considers leadership potential, extracurricular achievements, and professional experience. Successful candidates join a global network of Aga Khan scholars and benefit from mentorship opportunities, professional development resources, and community engagement activities. The scholarship reflects the Aga Khan Development Network’s commitment to improving quality of life through education, with particular focus on students from Africa and Asia. Application deadlines typically fall in early spring, with decisions announced by summer for fall semester enrollment.
