EDC International Business Scholarship Program

Export Development Canada (EDC) created the International Business Scholarships because International trade is critical to Canada's economic prosperity and EDC is dedicated to helping the next generation of business leaders succeed.

EDC awards up to 30 scholarships annually, 25 of which go to undergraduate university or college students interested in pursuing a career or furthering their studies in international business, with up to 5 additional scholarships for students in programs which combine business with environmental or sustainability studies.

An EDC scholarship is worth a $4,000 cash award.
