The new Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED) program provides students, from 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.
Scholarships and educational exchanges will contribute towards all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls) through, for example, women’s studies, political science, anthropology, and economics; and Goal 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts) through, for example, environmental sciences/policy examining climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy, peatlands and other land use effects and strategies, and forestry.
Since our Bachelor of Business Administration focuses on Business and Sustainability, students attending RRU as an exchange student in this program would meet the requirements of contributing towards the Sustainability Goads as outlined by the United Nations.
The scholarship value varies depending on the duration and level of study. The scholarship value for students is:
- CAD 8,700 for college, undergraduate or graduate students (Master's and PhD) for a minimum of four months or one academic term of study or research;
- CAD 14,400 for undergraduate and college students for a period of eight months or two academic terms of study or research.
This will be a great contribution to the student’s costs associated with studying abroad and may be used for the following:
- visa and/or study/work permit fees;
- airfare, for the scholarship recipient only, to Canada by the most direct and economical route and return airfare upon completion of the scholarship;
- health insurance;
- living expenses;
- ground transportation expenses, including a public transportation pass; and
- books and supplies required for the recipient’s study or research, excluding computers and other equipment.
