How to Apply for Dalhousie University Scholarships?

To apply for scholarships at Dalhousie University, please complete the following steps.

1. Access the FGS Scholarship Management Platform by logging in. To log in, please select “Use Dalhousie NetID” if you already have one. If not, kindly set up a password and enter your email address. Even if you plan to apply to more than one opportunity, you only need to register one account.
2. From the “My applications” section on your home page, choose to create a new scholarship application or modify an already-existing one. Please do not submit more than one Harmonized Scholarship application for a competition; each applicant will only be allowed to submit one application.
3. Applicants for master’s degrees who submitted applications for the Tri-Agency CGS-M competition have the option to use those applications in the Harmonized Scholarship Process if they so desire. To accomplish this, please go through the application and choose “Master’s Level – CGS-M Opt-In” as the submission category. The reference letters and transcripts you turned in for the Tri-Agency CGSM competition will be linked to your opt-in form by the Faculty of Graduate Studies along with your CGS-M application. December 1st is the Opt-in deadline (which also happens to be Tri-Agency’s deadline for CGS-M applications). To be eligible for additional rewards, you must submit a complete Harmonized Scholarship Application if you choose not to opt-in with your CGS-M application.
4. It is recommended that all applicants fill out the self-identification form available on the online scholarship platform. This enables administrators to make sure that candidates are grouped according to specified eligibility requirements and sent through the review process for award chances. Reviewers cannot see the information you enter in this questionnaire, and it will be kept completely private.
5. To proceed through the application, click “Next” at the bottom of each page. After selecting “Save,” the applicant can exit the application and come back to it at a later time to make changes or updates.
6. In accordance with the guidelines in the application, the candidate must obtain and upload official transcripts directly into the scholarship portal. Transcripts from admissions applications will not be sent by FGS. Before submitting, transcripts from several universities need to be merged into a single PDF. For the purposes of the streamlined scholarship application procedure, current Dalhousie students may submit unofficial grade reports in place of official transcripts.
7. By January 16, 2024, all reference letters must be uploaded through the portal (or February 15, if the applicant is not a thesis candidate). After this date, the application portal will be closed to both applicants and referees, and incomplete applications won’t be reviewed. Email or physical copy reference letters will not be accepted. It is strongly advised that, in case of unanticipated circumstances or technical difficulties, applicants notify their references of a deadline a few days to one week prior to January 14. Once a referee’s reference has been completed, the applicant will receive an email message from the portal and each referee’s name will have a red “received” mark next to it. Before the deadline, kindly check the status of the references regularly.
8. To finish and submit the application, accept the terms and conditions and click “Save and Finalize.”

   Note: Up until the January 15 deadline, you may withdraw your application to make modifications, such as adding autumn grades to your transcripts or revising it in response to departmental criticism. To be considered, your application must be resubmitted by January 15th if you decide to withdraw it.
