The Canadian Francophonie Scholarship Program (CFSP) is a scholarship program created to help employed people from La Francophonie’s underdeveloped nations strengthen institutional capacity.
The program is wholly supported by the Canadian government, which has since January 1, 2015, delegated the operation of the initiative to the partnership of the Canadian Bureau for Foreign Education and the Global University Service of Canada.
The scholarships are for programs leading to master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral degrees. This scholarship typically costs $35,000 each year. As the Canadian government is funding this scholarship, you don’t need to worry about covering any costs. What are you waiting for, then? For this chance, you must apply.
The Canadian government entirely funds the program, and as of January 1, 2015, the Canadian Bureau of International Education/World University Service of Canada Consortium has been tasked with running it. The goal of Canada’s Francophonie Scholarship Program (GASP) is to increase organizational capacity by enhancing the skills of staff members from developing nations.

Eligibility
- Institutions targeted by recipient nations run internal recruiting drives to find competent applicants with the best potential for enhancing their institution’s capabilities upon return to their home nation.
- Applicants recognized and selected may apply for university courses leading to a master’s and doctorate degree, for technical and vocational training, or for short-term internships.
Clinical training in pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry is excluded.

- Candidates are chosen in their nation by a local advisory group made up of members of several ministries. As an observer, the authorized Canadian diplomatic delegation ensures the fairness of the selection procedure.
- The host institutions’ standards for academic quality and the candidates’ employment in the area or organization that needs strengthening are both taken into consideration by the local advisory council. Candidates must be fluent in both spoken and written French and submit an equal number of applications from each gender and nation.
- The relevant institution alone is responsible for the candidate’s final acceptance to college or university, and the scholarship doesn’t kick in until that happens.
