The Global Affairs Canada (GAC) International Scholarships Program consists of Short-term Exchange Programs for Canadians and international students. Under these programs, international students and faculty can receive a scholarship to do an exchange in Canada and Canadian students and faculty can receive a scholarship to do an exchange abroad.
