Global Affairs Canada is pleased to announce the launch of the Indo-Pacific Scholarships and Fellowships for Canadians (IPSFC), a major funding initiative aimed at enhancing academic and research engagement in the Indo-Pacific region.

To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must be affiliated with a Canadian post-secondary institution, university consortium, or research organization. Eligible participants include graduate students, researchers, and academics. Proposed study or research activities must take place in an eligible Indo-Pacific country and align with the strategic objectives of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, such as diplomacy, security, sustainability, innovation, and economic cooperation.
