ITS students participating in this exchange have the opportunity to apply for the Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED). Selected students must also comply with entry regulations set by the Government of Canada.

The SEED program aims to reduce poverty in developing ASEAN countries and contribute to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Important:
