Dalhousie University Entrance Scholarships

Going to university is investing in your future. We want to support students who have the potential to shape our campus community. Dalhousie's entrance awards recognize academic achievement and your unique skills and abilities.

High school students admitted to Dalhousie's Halifax campuses are eligible to apply for our general entrance award program. There are specific awards for those students applying to programs offered in the Faculty of Agriculture. Transfer or mature students will be considered for scholarships after completing one year of study at Dalhousie (refer to current undergraduate students for more information). Students admitted to third year Engineering, please see the Faculty of Engineering for scholarship information.
