Navitas scholarshipsHello Everyone! The gratitude in being an FIC scholarship recipient is reallyunexplainable. I greatly appreciate the aid that was honored to me. The kind ofsupport that the administration staff offered me during the application processwas truly applaudable. As an international student the reward was a dreamcome true, making my Canadian studies comfortable for me. It not only reducedthe burden but also induces students (like me) to apply for scholarships.So, friends its not just an FIC experience its also the opportunity to get auniversity experience as we get full access to the Campus facilities of SFU, it’sthe icing on the cake.The faculty and the whole setup is definitely comfortable and convenientfor international students. There is so much to learn once you interact andcommunicate with students from different countries, cultures and societies.Obviously it transforms students into mature individuals preparing them fordifferent phases and circumstances in ones lives.Rohini Grover, India2009 Navitas Academic Merit Scholarship RecipientNavitas academic meritscholarshipsNavitas is committed to helping studentsachieve their career goals by offeringscholarships to outstanding students.The scholarship applies to 50% of thetuition fee for a Navitas Diploma*program at a Navitas college or oneacademic semester of undergraduatestudies at ACN, Curtin Sydney, CurtinSingapore or Macquarie City Campus.To be considered for the Navitas academicmerit scholarship, students must:1.
