Imagine being young, full of potential, and ready to build a new life, but facing hurdles just to access education. For many immigrants and refugee youth in Canada, this is a daily reality. But a new initiative by World Education Services (WES) is changing the story.
With over $150,000 in fresh funding, WES is launching targeted scholarships that give immigrant and refugee students in Canada a clear path to higher education and, ultimately, to a better future. If you’re planning to immigrate to Canada or are already here and seeking ways to build your future, this announcement is for you.
On May 7, 2025, WES announced two major scholarship investments:
These scholarships not only cover tuition but also create real-world learning and career-building opportunities. For those already in Canada or planning to immigrate, this is a rare chance to align your academic dreams with long-term settlement and career success.
Many immigration pathways prioritize applicants with strong educational backgrounds and Canadian credentials. These scholarships directly help immigrant youth meet those criteria. Here’s how they align with your immigration goals:
Whether you’re applying through a provincial nominee program (PNP), the Atlantic Immigration Program, or the Start-Up Visa, these educational initiatives strengthen your case.
The partnership with Wilfrid Laurier University focuses on refugee youth, especially two young Rohingya women. These full four-year scholarships not only change individual lives, they send a powerful message that Canada values the potential of newcomers.
The Reach Alliance project adds another layer of impact by involving students in community-focused projects in health care and Indigenous communities. This builds essential connections between immigrants and their new home while also supporting areas of need across Canada.
Most people know WES for credential evaluations. But the organization is also a powerful driver of change. As WES celebrates 25 years of service in Canada, its focus is firmly on building systems that help immigrants thrive, not just survive.
From credential recognition to philanthropy, WES is helping bridge the gap between newcomers’ skills and Canada’s needs.
These new WES scholarships for immigrant youth aren’t just about school, they’re about opening doors to Canadian immigration, careers, and community impact. For those planning their move or building a life in Canada, this is a powerful opportunity to succeed.
If you’re ready to explore how programs like these can support your goals, don’t wait.
