The Libyan-North American Scholarship Program (LNASP) is a joint collaboration between the Libyan Ministry of Education, the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), and Libyan sponsored students and host Universities in Canada and the United States.
The goal of the Scholarship Program is to facilitate the studies of Libyan undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in North America, allowing them to fulfill their academic objectives while addressing the needs of Libyan public institutions, academia, and society as a whole. In 2010, when CBIE began managing the LNASP, there were over 2000 Libyan sponsored students in North America, and nearly 3000 in 2015, with overall student numbers decreasing to approximately 500 in 2020.
