Scholarship Title: University of Montreal Scholarship for International Students 2025
Application deadline: 1st February 2025 / 1st September 2025
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 French-speaking research universities in the world. In turn, these international students will help fulfill our educational mission by enriching the cultural diversity of the Université de Montréal community.Â

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If one of the above conditions is not met, the UdeM exemption scholarship may be withdrawn.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