Mitacs Globalink Graduate Fellowship 2026

Mitacs Globalink Graduate Fellowship is a Canadian scholarship programme run by Mitacs to help international talent continue into graduate education in Canada. It is designed primarily for students who have previously taken part in a Mitacs Globalink research internship and now wish to return to Canada for graduate studies at an eligible Canadian university.

The fellowship typically supports master's and doctoral study, especially research-focused programmes connected to a faculty supervisor and university admission. It is intended to encourage high-achieving international students to build on research relationships formed during their earlier Mitacs experience and transition into longer-term academic and research training in Canada.

Funding is generally provided as a partial scholarship. The award can help with graduate study costs, but students should expect that it may need to be combined with university funding, supervisor support, or other scholarships depending on the institution and programme. Exact value, duration, and disbursement arrangements can vary by cycle and institutional participation.

Applicants normally need to be eligible international students, have participated in the relevant Mitacs Globalink programme, and secure admission or an offer from an eligible Canadian graduate programme. A suitable academic record, a faculty supervisor or research match where required, and compliance with both Mitacs and university rules are usually important. Application is generally made through Mitacs in coordination with the host university, so students should also check the graduate admissions process at their intended institution.
