Scholarship opportunities at CanadaICA

We support learners who are ready to build a career in software, project leadership, or cybersecurity. Scholarships reduce the barrier so more people can train through practice, internships, and mentorship.

Scholarship requirements

CanadaICA awards support to people who can show they will use the training — not only that they can sit in a classroom.

  • A complete CanadaICA application must be submitted.
  • Academic documents and, where relevant, a portfolio must be uploaded on time.
  • If a scholarship type needs a special form, that form must be completed.
  • Only one scholarship type applies at a time, unless the jury decides otherwise.
