Starting in Fall 2022, all prospective students of select programs offered by Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles who also meet specific geographic criteria may be eligible to scholarships up to 10 600$. This new program was made possible thanks to funds provided by Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement under two initiatives: helping student mobility between regions (initiative 1) and increasing the number of students in four designated fields (initiative 2).
Encouraging student mobility between regions - 6 000 $ scholarship
These funds aim at fostering attractiveness and retention of students.
6 000$ are to be offered over a period of two years to students coming from remote regions who enter the following programs onsite before March 1st 2022 : Arts, Literature and Communications, Natural Science, Social Science, Special Education, Accounting and Management, Aquaculture, Processing of Aquatic Products, Professional Fisheries and Marine Engineering.
Eligible regions are: Capitale nationale, Centre-du-Québec, Lanaudière, Laurentides, Laval, Montérégie, Montreal, Nord-du-Québec and Outaouais.
Students from Gaspésie-les-Îles who are living 100 km or further away from the closest place of study offering one of the aforementioned programs will also be eligible to the scholarship.
Increasing graduation rates - 2 200 $ to 10 600 $ scholarship
This second scholarship program is aimed at all Canadian students, including students from Gaspésie-les-Îles.
Students in Computer Technology may receive up to 6 000$ (female students) or up to 3 000$ (male students) upon graduation.
In Social Work Techniques, a scholarship of 2.200 $ will be awarded upon successful completion of the internship.
In Specialized Education Techniques, a scholarship of 2 300$ will be given upon successful completion of the internship.
Two scholarships of 2 300$ each are to be awarded to students in Special Education programs after completion of each of the two required internships. For this program only, students coming from eligible regions mentioned in the first initiative will also have the opportunity to receive the mobility scholarship, for a total amount of 10 600$.
