In a more generic way, the attribution of scholarships for foreign students aims at creating cultural links and allowing the setting up of possible common scientific research projects.
The program also represents an instrument for the MEES to support the Government of Québec’s scientific policy.
The excellence scholarship program for foreign students is structured around four components: 
Scholarships for all countries 
Quebec-Brazil Scholarships 
Quebec-China Scholarships 
Quebec-India Scholarship 
Quebec-Israel Scholarship 
Quebec-Wallonia Scholarship 
Type: Doctoral, Research, Postdoctoral
Who can apply for Québec Government Merit Scholarship Program:
Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements in effect at the time of application submission according to the program rules and the RGC. 
3.1 Persons concerned and eligibility period 
These scholarships are intended for foreign students or researchers from all research sectors (health, human and social sciences, arts and letters, natural sciences and engineering), pre-selected by a Quebec university institution or by the CCTT Network or the China Scholarship Council who wish to undertake or continue studies or research activities in Quebec. There is no preferred research sector. 
Master’s Research Scholarships (VM) component 
Master’s research scholarships are intended for students who wish to undertake or continue a graduate program in research. To be considered a “research” program, a master’s program must lead to the writing of a research paper (for example, an essay, a research report, a dissertation or an article are not accepted). Professional master’s programs are not eligible.  
The eligibility period corresponds to the first six sessions of graduate studies. To apply, you must have been registered for a maximum of 3 full-time sessions (1 year) or less in a master’s program before May 1, 2025. Sessions already completed in a master’s program (or equivalent) at the time the scholarship takes effect are subtracted from the duration of the funding. 
Doctoral research scholarship component (V1, 1B, 1C, 1I, 1IS, 1W) 
The eligibility period corresponds to the first nine sessions of postgraduate studies. All doctoral sessions completed before the scholarship comes into effect (corresponding to the first payment), whether funded or not, are subtracted from the eligibility period. 
Candidates admitted to the doctorate after bachelor’s studies and those who make an accelerated transition to the doctorate without having submitted a dissertation must apply for the doctoral competition to obtain a scholarship during their 3rd, 4th and 5th years of graduate studies (between the 7th and 15th study session). In this case, candidates may first apply for a master’s scholarship (VM) to obtain a scholarship during the first six graduate sessions. 
Postdoctoral internship grant component (V2, 2 B, 2C, 2I) 
Postdoctoral research grants are aimed at researchers in training who have obtained their doctorate two years or less before the closing date of the competition or who will have submitted their doctoral thesis by January 15, 2026 at the latest. 
Postdoctoral research must be carried out at an institution other than the one that awarded the doctorate. The candidate’s doctoral supervisors and co-supervisors cannot act as supervisors of the postdoctoral internship, even if they have changed institutions. 
The maximum eligibility period for this non-renewable scholarship covers a period of 12 months. 
Short-term research or training component (V3, 3B, 3C, 3I, 3IS, 3W) 
Short-term research or development grants are aimed at technical and university level students (option A) and researchers who have completed a doctorate no more than five years before the competition closing date (option B). 
Where applicable, the research or training stay must be carried out in an establishment other than the one where the student is registered at the time of submitting the application. 
The maximum eligibility period for this non-renewable scholarship covers a period of four months.

Scholarships are offered through competition, based on the excellence of the applications. 
Scholarship recipients are selected by multidisciplinary evaluation committees made up of professor-researchers. 
Number of Awards: Not specified (There are no quotas per country)
