Study Abroad in Canada with a North American Scholarship!

Students studying in Canada (and in Mexico) will be eligible for "North American Scholarships." AU has recently approved eight North American scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each - four for study in Canada and four for study in Mexico. If you are successful in the North American scholarship competition, you can study abroad and experience the pleasures of Canada-and do it for about 20% less tuition (and lower living expenses) than remaining at home! Details on the application procedure and selection criteria for North American Scholarships are available from the AU Abroad office.

Visa Information

Upon acceptance, on-site staff in Canada will provide students with Study Permit information. US citizens are required to obtain a Study Permit before arriving if their period of stay in Canada will be more than six months. There are benefits of obtaining a Study Permit for shorter stays, though it is not required. For example, students with Study Permits may be able to work part-time on campus, and they can apply to renew the Study Permit from within Canada, if they decide to continue studying in Canada for another semester. Students without Study Permits who decide to stay for an additional semester must leave Canada in order to apply.

Non-US citizens should check with the Canadian Embassy for specific Visa/Study Permit requirements.

All students are responsible for contacting the Canadian Embassy or Consulate to find out what documents are needed to obtain the Study Permit.
