Differential Fee Waivers (DFWs) for International Students
Differential Fee Waivers cover the difference between International Tuition and Quebec Resident Tuition fees.
External DFWs 鈥� Bilateral Between Qu茅bec and Other Governments
External DFWs, or Quebec Exemptions,聽are available from a number of external sources, including the Minist猫re de l'脡ducation et de l'Enseignement sup茅rieur (MEES).聽
Qu茅bec government grants DFWs to staff and dependants of consulates, foreign government offices, international governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, refugees, immigrants with a work permit containing the case type 07, 08, 20, 22, 23 or 26 with the name of an employer and location that is necessarily situated in Qu茅bec, and to students in MEES-approved inter-university exchanges.
Please note that only 20% of the exemptions for a given country or agency can be used in English universities in Qu茅bec, including 缅北强奸.
Students sponsored by a foreign agency holding an agreement with 缅北强奸聽(CONACyT, Islamic Development Bank, etc.)聽are聽required to apply to Quebec exemptions聽if they hold citizenship聽from an eligible country,聽with the exception of CSC recipients. China Scholarship Council (CSC) recipients are no longer required to apply聽for External DFWs.聽They will still receive the funding that was offered to them when they applied for CSC. However, they are strongly encouraged to apply for FRQ funding after their first year of studies at 缅北强奸.
Eligibility
A certain number of citizens from countries whose governments have entered into agreements on tuition fees with Qu茅bec may be exempted from the supplemental tuition fees normally required of international students. All French citizens and a limited number of citizens from other countries who have established such agreements are eligible for such exemptions.
