Or earning your co-op placement internationally? But the reality is the cost of travel and the lack of money in your pocket?
The provincial government recognizes that between the cost of travel, accomodation and international fees, studying and/or working overseas is out of reach for many students.
The Ontario International Education Opportunity Scholarship fund is part of the province of Ontario's internationalization strategy for post-secondary institutions.
It has been designed to increase accessibility to international opportunities by providing students with $2500 in financial support to further their international experiences and knowledge.
To be eligible for this funding you:
- must be a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident or a Protected Person.
- must be in good academic standing, as defined by Algonquin College.
- must have demonstrated financial need, as determined by Algonquin College.
- must have your academic study, work study or co-op placements recognized by the program Coordinator at Algonquin College as a part of your academic program.
- completing an academic, work or co-op placement abroad.
- are not already participating in a Government of Ontario funded exchange program.
- students don't have to be eligible for Ontario Student Assistance Program to receive an OIEOS award.
If you have dreamed of working or studying abroad but the financial burden seemed too great - please inquire about this OIEOS funding and how it may help you realize your dreams...
