Where to Learn About Scholarships and Programs for Studying in Canada

UniversityStudy.ca has closed, so its former scholarship and program listings are no longer available there. The replacement route is Universities Canada, which now hosts information on scholarships, awards, and programs it administers, plus a tuition comparison tool. For scholarships tied to a specific school, you still need to check that university's own financial aid pages, because eligibility, deadlines, and application steps are set by each institution or program.

What changed after UniversityStudy.ca closed

UniversityStudy.ca was an initiative of Universities Canada. Its services have been retired, and the site now redirects visitors to resources from Universities Canada rather than offering its own search tools.

That means:

• There is no UniversityStudy.ca scholarship search or program directory to use.
• The site's own dashboard, sign-in, and account features are gone.
• The replacement content is hosted by Universities Canada, not by UniversityStudy.ca.

If you had bookmarked a specific scholarship or program page on UniversityStudy.ca, treat that link as dead and start from the Universities Canada resources instead.

Where to find scholarships and awards

Universities Canada points visitors to information about scholarships, awards, and programs it administers. Its stated purpose is to help make university more accessible through financial support.

Use this as a starting point, not a complete list. It covers what Universities Canada itself manages. Many awards that matter to you will sit elsewhere:

A practical order: start with Universities Canada to see what is nationally administered, then go to each university you are considering and search its site for "scholarships," "awards," or "financial aid."

How to compare tuition while you research funding

Universities Canada also provides a tuition comparison resource. It shows tuition ranges for Canadian and international undergraduate and graduate students at universities across Canada.

This matters for scholarship planning because funding only closes part of the gap. Comparing tuition ranges alongside award amounts tells you what you would actually pay. Note that published ranges are broad — your exact tuition depends on your program, your status (domestic or international), and the year you enroll, so confirm the figure with the university.

What to verify before relying on any listing

Scholarship information changes constantly, and the Universities Canada page describes its resources at a general level. Before you build an application plan around any award, confirm:

• Eligibility — citizenship, residency, field of study, level (undergraduate or graduate), and academic requirements.
• Deadline — many awards close months before the academic year starts, and some require a separate application rather than automatic consideration.
• Application route — whether you apply through the university, the program, or the funder directly.
• Amount and renewability — whether it is a one-time award or continues across years, and what you must maintain to keep it.

The Universities Canada page does not list individual deadlines or eligibility rules for every award, so those details have to come from the awarding body.

Other resources on the same site

Beyond scholarships and tuition, the Universities Canada ecosystem includes:

• Possible with U — stories about how universities prepare students, advance research, and support communities.
• Univcan.ca — information about Universities Canada and its work.
• UniversityAffairs.ca — its media and commentary outlet.
• A newsletter — sign-up for updates, which is useful if you want funding and program news pushed to you rather than checking manually.

A workable research routine

1. Go to Universities Canada and review the scholarships, awards, and programs it administers.
2. Use its tuition comparison tool to get a rough cost picture by university and student type.
3. Shortlist your universities, then visit each one's financial aid or awards page directly.
4. Contact the relevant office if a deadline or eligibility rule is unclear — do not assume.
5. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want to catch new or updated listings without repeated manual checks.

The short version: UniversityStudy.ca is gone, Universities Canada is the replacement for nationally administered funding and tuition ranges, and your target universities remain the authoritative source for the awards you will actually apply to.
