Why This Fund Matters
Students join the Faculty of Architecture and Planning from around the world, bringing diverse perspectives, experiences, and ideas to our community.
When conflicts, natural disasters, and other crises occur, the impact can extend far beyond a student’s home community. Unexpected financial pressures can make it harder to stay enrolled, meet educational costs, and focus on their studies. The International Student Relief Fund provides practical assistance during these moments, helping students stay on track and remain part of the Dalhousie community.
