Fees & Financial Support

For full-time students, the payment of the tuition and fees are spread out over each of the 4 terms of the 16-month program (Term 1, Term 2, Residency, and Term 4). For part-time students, tuition and fees are distributed over 4 years.  For International students there is an additional international tuition fee that is charged.

Note that the payment is not equal in each term as the payment in the fall semester includes the annual health insurance fee.

For students who take longer than the allocated time to complete the MHA, they will be charged a continuing fee each term. 

Please see this link for information on mandatory fees. These fees include benefits such as health insurance and a pass for Metro Transit buses and ferries. Students with equivalent insurance may apply to “Opt Out” of the Health Plan through Dal Online.

Please see the tuition fee calculator for details on tuition and fees that are charged. Please note that the tuition fee calculator will calculate tuition and fees for one year and an additional semester of tuition and fees needs to be added as the MHA is 16 months full-time.   

Note that there are a particular range of supports available for Indigenous and African Canadian applicants.  Please do not hesitate to reach out if the information on these awards is hard to find on Dalhousie's website.
