ELAP Scholarships (Canada) – 2025
Developed by the Government of Canada, the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP) offers scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students (master’s and doctoral level) from Latin America and the Caribbean for an exchange program at Canadian universities.
Please note that SINTER manages the applications of UFSC undergraduate students only.
ATTENTION: Questions related to proficiency certificates and general documentation, required by the selected institution, should be addressed directly to the host institution.
Please click HERE for details about the application (download the file).
The table below shows the deadlines and places available for each institution. SINTER is in contact with the Canadian partner institutions and will update the table as soon as new information becomes available.
Considering the time available for internal procedures, the deadline for application at UFSC cannot be extended. By the deadline indicated in the table, applicants must be registered in the UFSC online application system and must have submitted to SINTER all application documents, including the learning agreement (UFSC template) signed and stamped by their program coordinator and without SINTER’s signature.
The information bellow is for the 2025 scholarships. Applications will be accepted from 1 February.
| Institution | Deadline for application at UFSC | Places* |

* The number of places offered in each institution is set in the bilateral agreements between UFSC and the Canadian institutions. Being selected for one of the places at a Canadian institution does not ensure that the student will be participating in the ELAP Program. The student selected for one institution who is not granted with the ELAP Scholarship will have the option to go on exchange in that university using their own financial resources.
