I am selected for the "MBA Entrance Award" of $2,500 (Its not a scholarship, but a cash award).

Almost all good Universities offer scholarship/cash award.

most uni's have limited budgets so entrance scholarships are limited. He could also apply for other scholarships which require separate essays application etc and are given on leadership skills, athletics, communitywork etc. Uofa (alberta) offers a lot to its undergrads. I don't know about matric/fsc but every international student who applied with me to the uofA got some entrance award. But they still needed big budgets for 4 years.

other than that some uni's offer region specific scholarships. Queen's(the on i;m going to) had a few which gave preference to Pakistani students and they were HUGE. One of them was for around $20K/per year for 4 years(renewed yearly based upon performance). ir had a seperate application required a few essays and competition was VERY tough.

Universities in Canada don't know about Matric and fsc so they would be clueless to what >80% means unless your brother approaches Federal government for some help. My cousin got full scholarship to Waterloo University through PAKISTANI government and he was a Matric student.

I suggest you approach Higher education commission in Islamabad they would give you more suggestions

entrance scholarships are limited but if he is going for Research based master then he can easily get Teaching Assistantship and Research Assistantship.I also received both for Masters.All universities of canada give full funding to each and every student.if he is interested in research he has bright future ahead m sure.

For Canada, you could apply for the Commonwealth Scholarship through the HEC, but be warned that it involves a bond contract -- you will be made to return to Pakistan for a certain number of years, and if you don't, your property could be seized.

It is hard for international students to get full funding at levels below a PhD but you can get entrance/cash awards. Research-based Master's would be much more able to fund you through Teaching Assistantships or Tutor Marker positions. Contact your program before applying to find out funding details. Also, you could contact a professor beforehand and ask if he can give you a Research Assistantship in his lab (everything depends on whether the professor has gotten research grants or not -- the ones with big research grants can easily give you a Research Assistantship).

PhD students are eligible for nearly full funding: I have a renewable annual Graduate Fellowship, a Teaching Assistantship, and a Research Assistantship -- all of these things combined fund almost my entire tuition and living costs for four years. SFU, I have to say, has been amazing to me: not only do they have ridiculously low tuition levels (I'm paying CDN $1,900 a semester, which is really not much), they have also given me a lot of funding. SFU also does not even charge different fees for international students at the graduate level! I'm not even there yet, and I already love it. ;-)

The summary, I think, is that the more prestigious the program you get into, the more likely you are to get funding.
