Study in Canada in 2026 for FREE!!!

The UdeM exemption scholarship program is designed to support international candidates in their university studies. Since the fall of 2020, it is possible to benefit from an exemption from the tuition fees normally charged to international students.The goal of this program is to help the best talent from all countries attend one of the finest francophone research universities in the world. In turn, these international students will help fulfil our educational mission by enriching the cultural diversity of the Université de Montréal community.

Who can benefit from the exemption scholarship program?

The UdeM exemption scholarship is intended for international students (except French and French-speaking Belgian students). To be eligible, the candidate must:

• Have received an offer of admission to a study program at UdeM (as of Fall 2020)
• Not be enrolled in an independent study program or short undergraduate program as of the Winter 2024 session, e.g., certificate, major, minor, short program or preparatory year program for university studies
• Have valid study authorizations (CAQ and study permit) for all sessions of their study program
• Be continuously enrolled full time (unless absence is approved) for their entire study program
• Not benefit from another form of tuition fee exemption

If one of the above conditions is not met, the UdeM exemption scholarship may be withdrawn.

How to receive the exemption scholarship?

1. Apply for admission
