Dalhousie will be issuing Dalhousie Research Excellence Scholarships to support a number of emerging research leaders from the Indigenous community (with priority given to Mi’kmaw applicants) and the African Nova Scotian community. When completing your application, please self-identify and provide your consent for FGS to use your information in the award process.
ELIGIBILITY:
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.
Applications are submitted through the Harmonized Scholarship Process. Your department will review your application and nominate you for an award if you meet the appropriate criteria.
BENEFIT:
Value: $35,000 per year for up to four years
