Students with funding

Applicants who want to be considered for external scholarships like the Nova Scotia Graduate Scholarship must apply to the Faculty of Graduate Studies Harmonized Scholarship program by January 15. You can, and are encouraged to, apply to the harmonized scholarships even before you apply to the university itself; material that you develop for the scholarship application, like the research proposal, can then be re-used for the university application.

All PhD applicants, in particular, should consider applying to the harmonized scholarships.
