For exceptional international students, the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship Program at the University of Toronto offers an unmatched chance to attend one of the top universities in the world in one of the most multicultural cities on earth.
Going further, the scholarship program’s goal is to honor students who stand out for their outstanding academic performance, inventiveness, and leadership within their school. The student’s influence on school and community life, as well as their potential to contribute to the global community in the future, are given particular attention.
