Deadline: 3rd March 2022 | Join the Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED) program for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with short-term exchange opportunities for study or research in Canadian post-secondary institutions at the college, undergraduate and graduate levels.

The program aims to reduce poverty in the developing countries of ASEAN and to achieve the agenda for sustainable development. It offers opportunities to grow, learn, and develop skills for the future. It also provides opportunities for students from ASEAN member states to conduct short-term study or research in Canadian post-secondary institutions in areas that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

SEED scholarships are facilitated through institutional collaborations and student exchange agreements between post-secondary institutions in Canada and their partner institutions in ASEAN countries.
