The Student Refugee Program combines resettlement to Canada (as a Permanent Resident) with access to post-secondary education for young refugees.
More
WUSC says plainly that it is not a scholarship: students are sponsored for one year, and support is in kind — such as reduced or free tuition and accommodation — plus a small sum for basic necessities. Applicants must be registered with UNHCR, aged 18–25, single with no children, have finished secondary school, and have lived for 3 years in Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon or Uganda. The 2027-28 call closed on 14 March 2026 in Jordan and Lebanon; the call opens for 2–3 weeks each year between November and April.
