Dalhousie Research Excellence Scholarship

Eligibility criteria

You must have an intent to start (enroll in or transfer to) a PhD program at Dalhousie in January, May or September of 2025 or January of 2026. Admission into a PhD program is not required prior to applying for this award. However, scholarship funds will only be administered to successful applicants after they are admitted to and registered in their intended program of study. To maintain eligibility to hold this award, recipients must apply to additional major funding competitions for which they are eligible within the first two years of starting their PhD Program. These include the Research NS Scotia Scholar, Tri-Agency CGS-D and/or Vanier competitions. While not an eligibility requirement, you are strongly encouraged to complete the Nova Scotia Graduate Scholarship Priority Area Justification as part of your harmonized scholarship application. This will allow for your application to be considered for a broader range of awards.
