Applicants to the SSP, M.Sc. SS (MSS), and M.Sc. SM (MSM) programs are
required to secure their own funding. Potential sources of funding
include academic scholarships, donations from friends, family,
schools, professional organisations, industry (space or industries
related to the applicant's field of interest) and many more.
For the SSP only, Canadian applicants may apply to the Canadian Foundation
for the International Space University (CFISU). CFISU receives support from
Canadian companies and government departments, and sponsors a number of
Canadians each year to attend the ISU SSP program. CFISU scholarship
qualifications are necessarily more stringent than ISU entrance requirements,
but are a good starting point for searching for funding. Information about
CFISU funding can be obtained from the CFISU or from the Association of
Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC).
ISU also awards some funding to students for both the MSS and SSP, solicited
from industry, agencies and international organizations. Requests for funding
are included in the ISU application package. Information about ISU funding is
available on the ISU website.
