In recent times, Canada has witnessed a significant wave of academic scholarships aimed at fostering international collaboration and educational excellence. These scholarships encompass various programs, each with its specific requirements and objectives. Here is an overview of the recent wave of academic scholarships in Canada:

1. **Undergraduate Scholarships for Research-Based Experience:**
- For undergraduate students aspiring to engage in research-based experiences, having a formal institutional collaboration or student exchange agreement between the Canadian institution and the candidate's home institution is considered desirable, although not mandatory.
- Alternatively, candidates can provide a Letter of Invitation from a University of Alberta professor willing to supervise their research.

2. **Graduate Scholarships and Collaboration:**
- Graduate applications emphasize collaboration between Canadian institutions and the candidate's home institution. While an existing inter-institutional agreement is desirable, it is not mandatory.
- Graduate applications that involve collaborations between professors from both institutions, whether established or new, are accepted.

3. **Application Process:**
- Candidates are required to submit applications and supporting documents directly to the University of Alberta International through the Government of Canada Scholarships Research Application Form.
- Applicants must be enrolled full-time in their proposed degree program at the time of application.

4. **Eligibility and Renewability:**
- Scholarships cannot be deferred, and they are not renewable.
- Priority is given to candidates who have not previously received scholarships under any Global Affairs Canada scholarship program.

5. **Taxation and Terms:**
- Scholarships are not taxable for either the Canadian institution or the scholarship recipient.

6. **Advance Review of Scholarship Terms and Conditions:**
- Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the Scholarship Terms and Conditions to ensure eligibility before contacting a potential University of Alberta host professor.

7. **Specific Scholarship Programs:**
- The recent wave of academic scholarships in Canada includes programs such as:
- Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED)
- Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP)
- Study in Canada Scholarships

These scholarships serve as a testament to Canada's commitment to promoting international education, research, and collaboration, offering valuable opportunities for students and scholars from around the world to engage in academic pursuits and contribute to global knowledge exchange.
