Top 10 sports scholarships in Canada: admission to Canadian schools, universities
Sports scholarships in Canada for international students are provided by leading universities, and although the number of offers is limited compared to the USA, there is still a chance to receive financial aid for achievements in sports there is.
An important advantage of Canadian universities is a more affordable cost of education with high quality, teaching in English (with the exception of Quebec universities), a high level of academic knowledge. For student athletes, prestigious Canadian universities offer excellent training conditions, strong teams, qualified coaches and the opportunity to compete at the national level. Understanding what sports scholarships exist and how to apply can make the process of choosing a university in Canada much easier for students from abroad. Our consultants will help you navigate the various proposals, create an effective portfolio, meet the requirements and submit documents on time.
Thanks to our built relationships with educational institutions and sports academies around the world, extensive experience, knowledge of the process of negotiating admission to educational institutions in Canada, we help our clients receive the maximum amount of scholarships that will sponsor their studies and sports careers abroad.
We work with clients of almost all ages.
Types of services for athletes:
- Scholarships from schools, sports academies in Canada for Russian children from 10 to 19l. (High School / Prep School, a sports academy abroad, which will fully or partially sponsor the athlete's education).
- Canada College and University Scholarships for international students aged 17 to 24. (a college or university that will provide an athletic or academic scholarship that sponsors an athlete's training and additional expenses abroad).
Sports scholarships in Canada: features of the organization
School and college sports in Canada are developed almost in the same way as in the USA: over the past decades, many young athletes, due to their achievements, have received funding from American educational institutions or the opportunity to study completely free of charge. Canada is one of the few countries where sports and education are successfully combined.
A scholarship (scholarship) in Canadian schools and universities is a financial incentive for a schoolchild / student that allows you to pay for tuition, compensate for the cost of living, meals, textbooks and other possible expenses.
The scholarship fund of each student can be formed from different sources, the funding is transferred to the account of the educational institution (or allocated from its budget) and provided in the form of a tuition discount, in some cases covering up to 100% of the costs.
Sports scholarship (athletic scholarship or sports scholarship) is the financing of athletes who will play for the team of an educational institution.
Types of scholarships in Canada
There are two associations in Canada that oversee university athletics: U SPORTS and the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). U SPORTS refers to its scholarships as "Athletic Financial Awards" (AFA): these are compiled from a variety of sources, with each institution's coach deciding how many awards to give to a particular student.
Forms of sports scholarships in Canada
| Full | Partial |
| Full format allows you to fully pay for | exceed the upper limit allowed by U Sports. |
| Under the Canadian system, the full scholarship does not cover housing and other expenses. Each province and each individual institution may set even more stringent rules for the distribution of funds. In addition, each individual university has its own rules and the right to reserve how much funds are available and can be made available to their athletes. | Recommendations from the school and coaches help decide how much the administration can give to one athlete. |
Ontario is a good example of this. Ontario universities can offer a maximum AFA of $4,500 CAD per year. Moreover, they have the right to allocate less funds for scholarships to students at their own discretion or because the funds simply are not in their program. Partial scholarships can range from less than a thousand dollars to full tuition and required university fees.
Canadian Scholarship Fund Funding
Canadian universities receive funding in different ways, which means they provide different financial aid options for athletes.
Some universities provide scholarships from their operating budgets, some of them have sponsors who provide scholarships at their own discretion, and there are also alumni funds that take part of the funding.
Scholarship amounts for any given potential student-athlete may vary depending on the institution, budget, athletic performance and other factors taken into account by the coach.
How can I get a sports scholarship in Canada?
- Student-athletes entering the first year of university must provide a high school diploma with a minimum GPA of 80%. If an athlete is unable to do so, they may receive an athletic scholarship at the end of their first year of study if they achieve an average of 65% or higher in academic performance. Likewise, maintaining eligibility for a scholarship after entering a university depends on the average level at the beginning of each year. In Ontario, this requirement is slightly higher at 70%.
- Sports performance is a key factor that influences the amount of the scholarship.
- The prospective bachelor must enter the university immediately after high school or college (at the latest 2 years after graduation).
- The candidate must have an academic record of a high GPA (A-) and a score of 7.0 or higher in the IELTS language test.
Sports that can be applied for a sports scholarship
Sports that can be applied for a sports scholarship in Canada are not as diverse, but include the most popular disciplines:
- Interview with a professional sports coach to assess the chances of receiving financial assistance
- Selection of Canadian universities that meet the student's sports and academic needs
- Formation of a sports portfolio (photo, video, its promotion among Canadian universities)
- Registration on websites , preparing for the required tests (IELTS, SAT)
- Comparison of conditions for obtaining financial aid in various provinces and universities in Canada

Higher education in Canada - inexpensive and high quality
Gold miners of quality foreign education have long turned their attention to Canada and it turned out that higher education in this country can be obtained not only at universities . It is believed that Canadian higher education ranks second in the world in terms of quality, and in terms of prestige it is second only to some American and British universities.
At the same time, getting a diploma in Canada is much cheaper than in these English-speaking countries and in some European countries.
Canada's road to permanent residence
For the second time in a row, Canada has been named the world's best country brand in the Future Brand 2011 Country Brand Index (CBI), a survey of 3,500 international travelers. And one of the most dynamic cities in this country - Toronto, according to the report of the world's largest international audit company PricewaterhouseCoopers, entered the list of 26 "cities of opportunity", losing first place only to New York and leaving behind many world business centers such as Berlin, London , Paris, Tokyo…
Since 2004, the number of immigrants moving to Canada only under provincial immigration programs has grown almost 7 times.
The easiest way to stay in this economically and politically stable country is to graduate in Canada. Moreover, the Canadian government is interested in ensuring that foreign students who have been brought up on the fertile material and technical base of colleges and universities in Canada and have received secondary special and higher education there do not leave the country, but remain to work for the benefit of the Canadian economy and their own for which favorable conditions are created for students from abroad. For example, under the new rules, students who have received higher or vocational education in Canada no longer need a special invitation from their employer to obtain a work permit. According to own statistics Seneca College (Seneca College) - one of the largest and most famous colleges in Canada, 93% of graduates of this institution of higher education find work within six months after graduation. In addition, restrictions on employment were lifted from graduates purely in the specialty they received.
The new resolutions also increased the term of their work from one to three years.
After completing your studies in Canada and at least 1 year of full-time work, you can apply to immigrate under the Canadian Experience Class program, which many do. In addition, international students and graduates of Canadian universities can get additional opportunities by participating in one of the provincial immigration programs. For example, in the province of Manitoba, the authorities offer very favorable conditions for foreign students who remain to work in the province after graduating from a university or college. At the same time, the provincial authorities will return to the student up to 60% of the cost of education in the form of 10% of the annual refunds of taxes paid. For example, after working 3 years in the province of Manitoba, a student gets back 30% of the cost of his education in Canada.
What is the cost of education in Canada
Many enterprising Americans are willing to change their native expensive higher education institutions for neighboring colleges and universities in Canada.
And you can’t refuse them business acumen. Getting higher education in US colleges will cost an average of 10 to 30 thousand dollars a year. Private universities are ready to accept foreign students for no less than 20-50 thousand dollars a year, while public ones can charge 10-15 thousand. Harvard estimates its training at 50-60 thousand dollars a year, other leading universities - an average of 30 to 40. The cost of a diploma in individual colleges can reach up to 80 thousand dollars a year. At the same time, in most cases, studying in Canada for foreign students costs about 10-11 thousand Canadian dollars per year.
Applying after a Russian school or university
It only takes an unbiased look at the many international education rankings and it becomes clear that Canada is consistently at the top. There are more than 350 universities and colleges in Canada, whose diplomas and certificates are recognized in many countries of the world.
Universities in Canada only accept students over the age of 18.
Russian applicants under the age of 18, immediately after school, have the right to enter only a state college, where there are various programs, including higher education programs - bachelor's. These schools accept students as young as seventeen, provided that their knowledge of English or French is high. So, for admission, you must know English at the TOEFL level - from 580 - 600 points, IELTS - from 6.0 - 7.0 points or French DALF \ DELF (level 2-3). Another condition for an applicant under the age of 18 to enter the college will be the presence of a guarantor or guardian in Canada. Guardianship Services or services for the guardianship of minors while studying in Canada are paid extra.
Each college or university in Canada sets a quota of places for the admission of foreign students, so the selection is carried out on a competitive basis. The preparation of documents for admission should be done in advance, it is advisable to submit an application for training (application form) a year before the start of studies.
If the university has a two-semester system of education, then enrollment takes place in September or January, and you need to have time to submit documents before February or October. Deadlines may vary depending on the admission rules of each university or college. Russian citizens receive confirmation of admission to the ranks of students and visa documents in May-June (if training begins in September) or in October-November (if classes start in January).
Forms of documents for admission can be obtained by contacting the educational institution or educational agency directly.
To improve your English language skills, you can complete a language course at a specialized center, such as the International Linguistic Academy of Canada (ILAC) or directly at the educational institution. For example, Seneca College has its own English language courses, which provide English language training for international students. The duration of study on the course of academic English is from 3 to 9-ty months.
In addition, after graduating from a Russian school, you can enter the preparatory departments at universities in Canada. For example, University of Toronto (University of Toronto), which ranks first among Canadian universities in the ranking of higher education institutions in the world, offers international students a one-year preparatory program. This program combines the study of English and academic disciplines. Successful completion of the program allows students to freely enter the 1st year of the university, while receiving 1 credit.
For those who already have an initial higher education - a bachelor's degree that you received back in Russia or already in Canada, you can continue your education either at the Master's Program or at the Post Graduate Program.
Having two or three courses of a Russian university behind him, you can enter a university in Canada for a bachelor's degree. At the same time, the student will be counted credits for the subjects passed in Russia, all that remains is to successfully pass the language test.
For English-speaking students - TOEFL, IELTS or CAE.
Who aims to obtain a master's degree in Canada must submit a diploma of higher education. Some universities require professional exams, such as businessmen and economists taking the GMAT. Sometimes experience in the chosen specialty is required.
In Canada, there is a large selection of postgraduate education programs for foreign students - Post Graduate Program - these are programs for students who already have a higher education, these programs have the opportunity to change their specialty or study it in terms of the needs and specifics of the Canadian labor market and needs North American employers. Such programs are applied and narrowly focused, many of them include internships in Canadian companies, including paid ones, in the curriculum. Moreover, the Post Graduate Program is available both at universities and colleges.
Those who plan to connect their lives with Canada choose professions that are more in demand in this country.
The average price of a two-semester Post Graduate Program is 13 thousand CAD.
College or university?
The question of choosing the format of an educational institution is faced by almost every applicant. Sometimes the choice is determined by the age limit. As already mentioned, universities only accept students who have reached the age of 18.
If the criterion of age is irrelevant, then it is worthwhile to first assess the correlation of your desires with the capabilities of those and other educational institutions.
Today, 32% of new Seneca College students already have university degrees. University graduates are attracted by the opportunity to get a practical specialty. Education programs in colleges are more applied, while in universities - academic education. “If you want to learn all your life, go to university, if you want to get a profession that will give you the opportunity to work and earn decent money, go to college,” says Seneca College President Dr.
Rick Miner.
Moreover, the practical programs of many colleges in Canada are unparalleled. For example, Niagara College (Niagara College), which has the highest ranking in student surveys, includes one of the most famous Culinary Institutes in Canada, as well as Canada's first winery, which trains future wine tasters and producers. In addition, the college is famous for the faculties of hospitality management and tourism, which are the largest faculties of this field of study in Canada. Niagara College gives students the opportunity not only to get good theoretical knowledge, but also to consolidate them in practice: a 5-star restaurant and a hotel are located on the college campuses, which gives students the opportunity to take practical classes and internships after graduation.
Additional advantages of colleges are:
- Economical. University education costs significantly (sometimes twice) more than the cost of college education.
- A good base for the transition to the university. Many colleges cooperate with universities, and therefore their graduates have the opportunity to immediately enter the 2nd or 3rd year of the partner university. In addition, many college students, after completing special programs, can receive double degrees - both from the college and from the partner university. If desired, students can continue their education in the master's program of partner universities or, after studying at a college, simply go to the 2nd or 3rd year of the university, often without entrance exams or with the transfer of academic credits in many disciplines. For example, one of the best colleges in Canada is Centennial College (Centennial College) - has agreements with many universities around the world. Centennial College leads the 24 public colleges in Ontario in terms of education quality (it is one of 4 colleges that meets all 5 education quality criteria developed by Ontario colleges).
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13128999/KELDON_JOHNSON_MBB2018_01_CW_600x900.jpg)
Students of Centennial College can continue their education after graduation at such universities in the world as Griffith University, Hawaii Pacific University, Southern New Hampshire, University of South Carolina, University of Western Sydney and others. Some universities in Canada and the United States also willingly count college points. - Several sets per year. Unlike universities, colleges hold several intakes per year. So, some colleges in Canada carry out four admissions per year.
- Relative ease of entry. It is quite common to enroll in colleges without entrance exams.
