We support full-time graduate students by research awards from their supervisors and by remuneration for teaching in undergraduate laboratories. Our level of support is competitive with other Canadian chemistry departments.
Awards, scholarships, grants:
Full-time graduate students in the Department of Chemistry are supported by scholarships that rely on a number of funding sources, including the Dalhousie Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarship Fund, the Killam Trust Fund and the research grants of the supervisors.
Financial support is available for the period the student is engaged in full-time graduate degree preparation on the university campus. Normally, that is two years for MSc students, and four years for PhD students. If the student completes an MSc here, then immediately starts a PhD under the same supervisor, only three years of funding may be provided for the PhD. You need to secure a supervisor before applying.
