The Government of Canada has commenced applications for its 2026 scholarship programme, offering fully funded study opportunities to Nigerians across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The scholarship scheme covers Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD, Diploma and Certificate programmes at accredited Canadian universities and colleges.
The initiative is funded by Global Affairs Canada and is designed to support international academic mobility while strengthening educational partnerships.
The funding package typically includes tuition coverage, living stipends and travel support, reducing financial barriers for qualified applicants.
The programme is open to students across multiple fields of study, including Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Health Sciences, Business, Environmental Studies, Social Sciences and Humanities.
The application deadline has been set for March 31, giving prospective candidates a defined window to complete submissions and secure required documentation.
Canada continues to position itself as a leading destination for international education, supported by a structured scholarship framework and globally recognised institutions.
Nigerian applicants seeking advanced academic training and international exposure are encouraged to review eligibility criteria and prepare applications within the stipulated timeline.
The 2026 intake reinforces Canada’s broader education diplomacy strategy, which aims to attract high-performing students while promoting knowledge exchange across borders.
