Dalhousie University

Dalhousie is one of Canada's older research universities, in Halifax, and its funding splits between entrance and graduate layers like most Canadian schools. International undergraduates are considered for entrance scholarships and named bursaries from the admission application, and the university's own international awards appear on this page alongside the general pool. Need-based bursaries at Dalhousie are mostly built around Canadian student aid, so international applicants should treat the merit awards as the main route.

Graduate and postdoctoral funding at Dalhousie has a distinctive strength: the Killam program. The Killam Trusts fund fellowships at a small number of Canadian universities, Dalhousie among them, and its postdoctoral fellowships and graduate awards appear below alongside the national Canada Postdoctoral Research Award and tri-council grants. Department assistantships carry the rest of the research students.

Dalhousie lists its award rounds with firm dates, and the official link on each card leads to the office that runs the award. When comparing options, read the level line first, since the entrance, graduate and postdoctoral awards on this page have nothing in common beyond the university that administers them.
