What are Schulich Leader Scholarships?

The Schulich Leader Scholarships have been awarded to Dalhousie students each year. These scholarships are Canada’s most coveted undergraduate STEM scholarships. 100 scholarships are awarded to entrepreneurial-minded high school graduates enrolling in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math program at 20 partner universities across Canada. Half are valued at $120,000 for engineering scholarships and half are valued at $100,000 for science and math scholarships. Each Canadian high school can nominate one graduating student per year, or four per cégep.  If your school had a 2025 Schulich Leader, you can nominate two students.
