Students in Global Learning Fair 2023

 

Funding

 

GLE supports students who want to take part in global learning opportunities. And, we know that money and budget are a major barrier for you.  

We offer funding to eligible students to support your journey abroad. When you apply for a Global Learning Abroad opportunity, you may be eligible for International Experience Grant.

To receive any funding, your SIN/ITN must be correct on the Student Home portal under “Profile”.
