The Nova Scotia Graduate Scholarship program provides over $3 million per year in funding to research graduates at Dalhousie for innovative work aligned with or advancing Nova Scotia priorities. The objectives of this award are to attract and retain top-quality research graduates, as well as to encourage exploration, discovery, and innovation in research priority areas for Nova Scotia. As a result, eligibility requires that you have not started your intended program of study prior to December 31 of the year of the competition, and the intended research must align with one or more research area priorities.
Master’s students may hold NSGS funding for up to 24 months, but not past the end of their second year in program. Master’s students who plan to transfer to a PhD at Dalhousie without completing their thesis may continue to hold NSGS funding at the master’s level for the original eligible duration of the award. If you wish to hold doctoral level NSGS funding, you must apply for a doctoral scholarship before officially transfering into the doctoral program.
