The University and Department offer, on a competitive basis, a limited number of scholarships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships. Students are encouraged to submit their admission applications by December 31^st to be nominated by the Department for these awards. All students are automatically considered for Dalhousie financial awards, so no special scholarship application process is required.  In addition, students are encouraged to pursue other sources of funding outside Dalhousie. Obtaining application forms, etc. for such external awards is the responsibility of the student applying for the award. The Faculty of Graduate Studies manages several scholarship competitions throughout the year for both current and prospective students.
