Overview

Applicants and current students in the Masters of Digital Media Program have a number of scholarship opportunities available.

In past years, some of our industry affiliates, such as Electronic Arts and Zynga, have provided scholarships to students. Scholarship opportunities are usually announced in the spring and everyone who applies to the MDM program is automatically considered (unless there are specific requirements for consideration – ie: gender, etc).

Here is a sample of awards from previous years:

• New Scholarship Opportunities Available For Students Of The Americas
• Zynga Awards Four Scholarships to MDM Class of 2010
• EA Scholarship Recipients Announced
• Dianne Sinclair Memorial Fellowship Established for Outstanding Female Student
• IGDA Scholarship Awarded To MDM Student
• New Masters of Digital Media Program to award $40,000 in scholarships

International Scholarships

A number of external scholarship opportunities are also available to international (non-Canadian) students. For more information visit the International Scholarships website provided by the Canadian Government. This site provides general information on available scholarships as well as a searchable database for students and researchers.   

External funding is also available through the Organization of American States (OAS) Fellowship Program to citizens of Member States. Visit the Educational Portal of Americas for more information.

Other places to research include your own government’s website, any association or groups you may be a part of, and scholarship websites such as www.scholarshipscanada.com.
