*Under this program, the definition of a Quebec student is the same as the one used in the Regulation respecting the definition of resident in Québec (RLRQ, c. E-9-1, r 2).

The maximum amount that can be awarded is the cost of transportation and accomodation, up to $2,000 per person. Participants will also receive a personal allowance of $100 per person.

The maximum number of supervisors eligible for funding is calculated according to the total number of students in the group:

• 5 to 14 students: 1

• 15 to 20 students: 2

• 21 to 29 students: 3

• 30 and + students: 4

The annual bugdet awarded for all submitted projects is $224,895 (within which an amount of $37,895 is to be allocated to projects within Canada).

The Program will be implemented through two types of calls for proposals: a continuous annual call and another with a fixed submission deadline. The details of these calls are specified below.

The continuous annual call will allow Éducation internationale to process applications from April 1 of the current year until February 15 of the following year, with February 15 being the fixed submission deadline for the current school year.

Part of the budget will be allocated within the continuous call, while another part will be reserved until February 15 to give projects that are not ready to be submitted before this date a chance to still receive funding.

This means that the funds available for the continuous call are limited, and it is possible that after a certain date, we will no longer be able to grant funding during the year if the demand is too high. If this is the case, all individuals whose applications were received after the funds for the continuous call have been exhausted will have to wait until after February 15 to receive a response to their funding request.

It is also possible to submit a grant application retroactively, that is, after the project has taken place, provided it is within the same financial year.

You will receive confirmation of the receipt and compliance of your application by email within the week following its submission.

For the continuous call, confirmation of acceptance or rejection of your application will be confirmed no later than 6 weeks after the submission date.

For the annual call, confirmation of acceptance or rejection of your application will be confirmed no later than 6 weeks after the submission deadline, which is February 15.
