Dalhousie University has established a $3.2M doctoral scholarship program in order to increase PhD student enrolment and enhance their research impact over the next three years. Starting in 2025, the Dalhousie Research Excellence Scholarship will provide 30 doctoral-level entrance scholarships valued at $35K per year for four years. Some of this funding will prioritize support for Mi’kmaw researchers, other Indigenous communities, and the African Nova Scotian community. “This is about attracting and supporting Dalhousie’s next generation of leaders,” said Dal Acting Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies Adam Donaldson. “PhD students are at the forefront of research and innovation; their work can have a significant impact on local, national and global challenges.”
