Funding

The Quebec Committee invites UB graduate and undergraduate students to apply for funding to pursue research projects or French language study in Quebec. Applicants must demonstrate an interest in pursuing an academic career in North American Francophone Studies. Different types of grants and fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis or the Quebec Studies group will inform you of the external grants available.

Study in Quebec

Through the SUNY system UB has an agreement with several Quebec Universities. Québec’s universities have set up student exchange programs with universities outside Canada through the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Québec Universities (CREPUQ). CREPUQ has signed student exchange agreements with over 500 universities or university consortiums worldwide.

The SUNY-CREPUQ Exchange allows SUNY students to study for a semester or a year at any of Québec’s universities, most of which are French-speaking. The three English-speaking universities in Québec are: McGill, Concordia, and Bishop’s University.

Alternatively, SUNY Plattsburgh offers several French language immersion programs in Québec including a summer program in Montréal and summer and semester programs in Chicoutimi. Please contact Plattsburgh directly for more information about the French language immersion programs.

UB has a separate special exchange agreement with the University of Québec at Montréal  . This exchange involves several UB programs. Please visit our office for more information.

The Quebec Government also offers a number of grants and fellowships if you want to study in Quebec. Please visit their site at http://www.gouv.qc.ca/portail/quebec/international/usa/etudes/.

Quebec Studies at UB is a member of the Association Internationale des Etudes Québécoises (AIEQ) and the mission of this academic organization is to promote the study of Québec in the world. Its site offers also from time to time useful information on new and regular grants and fellowships http://www.aieq.qc.ca/ (in French).
