In order for students to receive these scholarships, students must come to Brock University through one of two pathways:
1. Through a student exchange program in which Brock University and the students home university have an active student exchange agreement. Students with this pathway will be coming to study (i.e. take classes) on a student exchange. Students must be approved to do so and nominated by their home university to Brock’s Student Exchange Program.
2. Through Brock’s Global Scholars Program, that supports students and scholars (at the undergraduate and graduate level) coming to Brock to conduct research for a set period of time. These students will need a letter of support from the Brock Faculty. A partnership with the home university is not required for this option. This option is available to undergraduate or graduate students coming to Brock to conduct research (not taking any classes).
