Outbound Mobility
The northern Canadian north2north funding is available for students and staff/faculty at participating north2north member institutions in Canada with a priority to support those living in or from Canada’s Arctic and northern regions (YT, NT, NU, Labrador) and/or those studying, researching, or teaching topics related to Arctic, Indigenous, or Northern Circumpolar subjects.
Exchanges can take place between participating north2north institutions in USA, Iceland, Greenland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, UK, and France. Exchanges within or to Canada’s territories may also be supported.
Students studying at a north2north member institution in Canada can receive grants of up to 9000 CAD. This program is intended but not limited to expand exchange opportunities throughout the circumpolar north for Arctic and northern students and staff/faculty studying or working in Canada’s north, as well as for students from groups under-represented in study-abroad programs. Funding priorities are listed at yukonu.ca/north2north.
north2north coordinators can email studyabroad@yukonu.ca for more details. Students should contact their home institution's north2north coordinator to express their interest in participating in a north2north exchange and apply for funding by visiting yukonu.ca/north2north.
