Canadian International Development Scholarships 2030 (BCDI 2030)
Next call for proposals will launch April 4, 2024
Universities Canada is pleased to announce that the BCDI 2030 program will be launching its second call for proposals for scholarship projects for studies in Canada.
Each university can submit one proposal for a scholarship project, in partnership with a higher education institution in one of the 26 eligible countries. Study projects in Canada are for a maximum of four years and must be implemented between 2024 and 2028.
Post-secondary institutions that received funding in BCDI 2030’s first call for proposals for scholarship projects are eligible for funding in this second call but must submit a proposal for a new project in a different field and/or with a different partner.
Visit www.bcdi2030.ca in April for more information and updates.
