Bursaries
Dalhousie University's Bursary program provides funds to assist students in financial need. Bursaries are typically smaller amounts of money (from $200-$600), intended to supplement other funding sources. Bursaries won't make up a major part of your funding, but they can fill in the gaps.
When can I apply for a bursary?
You may apply for a bursary once per academic term.
