Graduate Students' Exchange Program (GSEP) 2007-08 Competition
Awards available to students from eligible countries to participate in a graduate level exchange program in Canada
The Government of Canada offers scholarships as part of the Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program (CCSP) and Government of Canada Awards (GCA). These scholarships are tenable at recognized Canadian publicly funded universities, or colleges where applicable, that meet the requirements below.
The goal of the Graduate Students' Exchange Program (GSEP) is to encourage Canadian universities and colleges to develop or expand their exchange programs. The objective is to provide opportunities for students of the eligible countries listed below to participate in existing exchange programs.
The GSEP is funded by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT). The agency responsible for financial and administrative matters is the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).
Criteria for Eligibility
Students must be citizens who are enrolled full-time and paying tuition fees at their home institution, in one of the countries listed below, for the full duration of the exchange. More than one exchange program at a given university, or college where applicable, may apply.
If there is no existing graduate exchange, please note that we will also consider graduate research applications which involve a new or established collaboration between a professor from a Canadian and foreign university that may develop into an institutional partnership.
The Canadian institution must apply on behalf of the student

Eligible expenses:
The GSEP will cover exclusively the expenses related to the visit to Canada of one eligible student per grant. The grant available per student is CAD $10,000.
Funds will be provided in the form of a grant to host institutions which must commit to distribute funds exclusively for the purposes outlined in an agreement to be signed by the host institution and CBIE. Payment will be made in two installments: 90% on signing and 10% at mid-term of the project.
Mandatory expenses include:

c.. Telecommunications (long distance) for research purposes

Note that tuition is NOT an allowable expense, as it is expected that exchange students continue to pay tuition to their home institution.
Also note that no student services fees are payable. Institutions have already put in place systems for the hosting of exchange students. All moneys paid under this project are to cover direct expenses incurred by the student in order to participate in the exchange.
Timeframe
The GSEP runs until March 31, 2008. While exchanges may continue beyond this date, participating students must arrive in Canada and begin studies or research no later than March 15, 2008. The exchange may last up to a maximum of six months and a minimum of 4 months.
Results will be announced on Monday, January 7, 2008. The number of scholarships available each year is determined by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT).
