The Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the University of Luxembourg offers five scholarships to Québec university students. The scholarships can take the form of the following:

• A grant of €1 000 per month (scholarship available for all master’s-level programs at the University of Luxembourg)
• An exemption from the registration fees for one of the following programs
  • Interdisciplinary Space Master 
  • Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management .

The two types of scholarships can also be combined.

To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:

• be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident

• be attending university at the time of the preliminary selection of applications or be enrolled in continuing education after having completed an undergraduate program (master’s)

Each scholarship includes a monthly allowance of €1 000 (euros) for a master’s‑level program.

If the person’s stay begins or ends during the course of a month, the amount of the allowance shall be established in proportion to the number of weeks spent in Luxembourg.

The maximum waiting period before the first payment is two months from the date the scholarship recipient arrived in Luxembourg.

The scholarship is awarded for a maximum of two consecutive years at the master’s level.

You must gather your application documents into a single, compressed, encrypted and password-protected folder. Then send it to the Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur at the following email address:

You must provide the Ministère with your password separately. This can be done using an email other than the one containing the encrypted folder.

Important: Given that proof of admission to the University of Luxembourg must be provided, applicants must first follow the process to apply for admission to the University of Luxembourg. As part of this process, the candidates are asked to indicate their intention to submit an application for the scholarship program of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

An evaluation committee examines the applications in accordance with the following criteria:

• previous educational experience
• relevance of the study plan or research project (expected impacts on the host and home communities, and for the applicant’s personal journey)
• motivation (e.g. interest in discovering the culture and learning the language of the host country)
• careful presentation of the application

The government offering the scholarships makes the final selection.
