New students entering directly from high school who apply by March 15 are automatically considered for scholarships. We also provide in-course scholarships to returning Dal students. Our Canada Scholarships on File database allows students to investigate possibilities for external scholarships. Other financial assistance is available through the Dalhousie Bursary program, which is open to all Dalhousie under-grad students who qualify for a government student loan and demonstrate financial need. Students are able to apply for Canada Student Aid through their home province Student Aid Office.
Student aid is based on financial circumstances.
Most students can get an application through their high school, or by contacting their province's student aid office. If you have any questions or concerns, simply book an appointment with one of our Financial aid advisors in the Registrar's Office. We also provide a budgeting booklet to help you plan for the year ahead.
