A Université de Sherbrooke Excellence Scholarship, a powerful asset

Did you know that by obtaining a Université de Sherbrooke Excellence Scholarship, you increase your chances of being selected by major funding agencies?

A Université de Sherbrooke Excellence Scholarship has a significant leverage effect when the scholarship holder applies for a scholarship from an external granting agency.
