The University of Guelph’s FRAN Professional Masters International Tuition Scholarship (award E6107) helps international students in three course-based Masters programmes. It’s worth $5,000 for the Master of Applied Nutrition and $10,000 for Relational and Family Therapy and the Master of Psychotherapy. The award entry has no year attached, so it reads as an ongoing award.

Worked example
Zainab from Kaduna applies for Guelph’s Master of Psychotherapy with a B+ average. Because she pays international fees and meets the B threshold, she’s considered automatically through her admission application. If she wins, she’d get $10,000 in total, paid in two $5,000 instalments, as long as she stays full-time. For study permit rules, see our Canada study permit proof of funds guide.
Guelph tuition and living costs
- Master of Applied Nutrition tuition for international students: $12,608.74 a semester in 2026-27.
- Compulsory fees: roughly $800 to $1,000 a semester, plus the international health insurance charge (UHIP).
- Guelph’s own living-cost estimate: $22,494 a year.
So the $5,000 (five thousand dollars) FRAN award for Applied Nutrition covers about two-fifths of one semester’s tuition. That’s our own calculation, so budget for the rest from your own funds.
Other Guelph scholarships for international master’s students
- International Master’s Tuition Scholarship, course-based: $6,000 for up to one year. It needs an admission average of at least 70% and an honours degree completed at Guelph.
- International Master’s Tuition Scholarship, thesis-based: $10,000 a year for up to two years, on the same criteria.
- CARE Travel Grant: up to $7,400 for full-time master’s students, while funds last.
