I. General Policy

(Applicable to those scholarships administered by the Registrar's Office. Selection criteria may be different for those administered by individual faculties/schools/departments.)

A. Where Dalhousie Scholarships can be used

Dalhousie University scholarships can be used only at Dalhousie unless the Will or Trust Deed should otherwise permit. (The University of King's College has its own scholarship program.) Insofar as scholarships, bursaries and governmental student loans are concerned, Dalhousie and King's are separate. In order to receive Dalhousie money you must be a registered Dalhousie University student.

B. Portability of Undergraduate Scholarships

Most entrance and in-course scholarships are portable among all Dalhousie undergraduate programs. Please contact the Awards Office prior to changing programs.

C. Scholarship Payments and Rebates

To receive scholarship funds, a student must be registered at least as a full-time student (min 9 credit hours) at Dalhousie during the term(s) in which they are receiving the funds. Students registered in Graduate Studies, Medicine, Dentistry (with the exception of Diploma in Dental Hygiene Students), Law, are ineligible to receive in-course scholarships or renew an existing scholarship. These faculties have their own awards programs.


1.	Payments: Dalhousie University scholarships of $3000 or greater are credited towards students' accounts in two installments first and second term. Awards less than $3000 are credited in full first term. Awards are applied first to tuition and prescribed fees, and secondly for residence fees.
2.	Rebates: The portion of scholarship money in excess of the above charges will be refunded to the student. Refunds are made by the Student Accounts Office, late October.

D. Scholarship Duration

Dalhousie offers both renewable and non-renewable Entrance Scholarships. Non-renewable scholarships are held for one year. Renewable entrance awards are typically renewable for a maximum of four years. Holders of renewable scholarships are notified of either the renewal or the non-renewal of their scholarships. Please note that holders of renewable scholarships are NOT also entitled to hold Dalhousie in course scholarships. (Please also refer to section "Graduation and Renewable or In-Course Scholarships" )

E. Eligible Classes for Scholarship Assessment

The Registrar's Office (Awards) considers those Dalhousie classes which are taken for credit in a designated degree/diploma program during the academic year (or term in the Co-op program) as eligible classes for scholarship assessment.

Correspondence classes are considered for scholarship purposes.

Unless taken on Letter of Permission, transfer credits do not count towards the credit hours reviewed for scholarship assessment.

Please note that classes taken at other institutions are counted, to a maximum of 1 course per term, for scholarship assessment if such classes are taken on Letter of Permission towards an eligible degree/diploma at Dalhousie.

F. Scholarship GPA Calculation

The Scholarship GPA will be calculated for students who have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours of work over two terms within the preceding academic year. The Scholarship GPA will include all eligible classes attempted during this time period. Please note that the Scholarship GPA and the Sessional GPA normally differ.

The Scholarship GPA, expressed to two decimal places, does not show on a student's transcript.

G. Renewable Scholarships

Unless otherwise advised, an SGPA of 3.70 is required to maintain a renewable scholarship. Students must complete a full course load (a minimum of 30 credit hours) over two terms within the previous academic year and achieve a minimum SGPA of 3.70 to be considered eligible for renewal. Co-op students who are on a work term during the calendar year, must also complete 30 credit hours over two terms to be eligible. Students completing two work terms within one academic year must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours during their one academic term and achieve a minimum term GPA of 3.70 to be considered. In those cases where students have taken more than 30 credit hours, assessment is based on all courses taken within the term(s) being assessed. Transfer credits do not count towards the credit hours reviewed for scholarship assessment.

Students who fail to re-qualify for their renewable scholarship will be notified in writing. If a student achieves the required 3.70 SGPA in the next academic year, or in any academic year within four of the original offer, the scholarship will be reinstated.

Students registered in Graduate Studies, Medicine, Dentistry (with the exception of Diploma in Dental Hygiene Students), or Law are ineligible to receive in-course scholarships or renew an existing scholarship.

H. Qualifying for In-Course Scholarships

All undergraduate Dalhousie students not on a renewable scholarship, in eligible programs in the participating faculties, who have completed a full class load (a minimum of 30 credit hours) over two terms within the previous academic year and achieved a minimum SGPA of 3.70 will be considered eligible for in-course scholarships. Co-op students who are on a work term during the calendar year, must also complete 30 credit hours over two terms to be eligible. Students completing two work terms within one academic year must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours during their one academic term and achieve a minimum term GPA of 3.70 to be considered eligible. In those cases where students have taken more than 30 credit hours, assessment is based on all courses taken within the term(s) being assessed. Transfer credits do not count towards the credit hours reviewed for scholarship assessment.

I. International Exchanges

Students who have permission to study for one or two terms outside of Canada in an approved exchange program, and are considered to be full-time (normally 30 credit hours), can be considered eligible for in-course or renewable scholarship assessment.

Please direct specific questions to the Office of the Registrar.

J. Scholarship Assessment

Students on renewable scholarships will be assessed for renewal in either June or September depending on completion of two academic terms. All other undergraduate students are assessed for in-course scholarships in June or September depending on completion of two academic terms.

K. Changing Degree Programs

Changing degree/diploma programs can have implications for scholarship consideration. Scholarship holders considering degree changes should consult the Registrar's Office - Awards.

L. Reduced Class Load and Retention of Scholarship

Scholarship holders considering taking a reduced class load should consult the Registrar's Office - Awards. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours over two terms within the academic year to qualify for renewal of their scholarships or an in-course scholarship. Also refer to sections G and H.

M. Record of Scholarships

Awards are recorded on academic transcripts. The University retains the right to reassign the source funding of a student's scholarship as circumstances may warrant (but there would be no reduction in the amount).

N. Graduation and Renewable or In-Course Scholarships

If you hold a renewable scholarship and you choose to graduate earlier than originally expected, and then you decide to return to upgrade your degree to a 4-year degree, you must submit a request to access your scholarship for the final year. In addition, if you graduate and then decide to upgrade your degree, you cannot be assessed for an in-course scholarship until a further 30 credit hours over two terms within the same academic year is completed and a minimum SGPA of 3.70 is achieved.

O. Transfer Students

With the exception of the First Nations & Indigenous Black Students Entrance Scholarship, transfer students are ineligible for scholarships in the year of transfer. After one full year, students would be considered on the same basis as other students for in-course awards. Please refer to section H. Qualifying for In-Course Scholarships.

P. Taxation

As long as you are a registered full or part-time student, you are not required to claim financial awards (i.e.. scholarships, bursaries) as income on your taxes.

Q. Withdrawing

Award funds are credited to your student account with the expectation that you will remain registered at Dalhousie at least as a full-time student (minimum 9 credit hours) within the applicable term. Therefore, if you reduce your course load or withdraw, these funds are expected to be returned to the University. However, depending on the time of the withdrawal, you may be entitled to retain a prorated portion of the scholarship. Contact us prior to your withdrawal and we can review your specific circumstances.

R. Scholarship Appeals

The deadline to appeal a scholarship decision for an entrance/in-course/renewable scholarship is October 31.

Students may appeal under the following grounds:

V. Financial Aid and Loans

A. Government Student Loans

IMPORTANT: Please note that federal and provincial student loan regulations include stipulations for the Borrower in terms of the minimum class load, expressed as a percentage of the normal class load at the University, which the Borrower must carry in order to benefit from the program. This minimum must be maintained throughout the academic year, e.g., a student who wishes to receive either money or interest-free status under the Canada Student Loan Plan for the entire academic year must carry not fewer than 60 per cent of the normal class load (expressed in credit hours) for each term. Please note, to be eligible for provincial loan funding from Newfoundland, you must be registered in 80% of the normal course load. At Dalhousie, the normal credit hour load for student loan purposes is 30. The Borrower must carry not fewer than 18 credit hours, distributed equally between the terms, i.e., 9. If your particular program does not conform to this scheme, you should apply to Student Aid for funding for only that term in which your class load would fulfil this regulation. Federal and provincial rules can differ on this matter.
If you must drop or add classes, exercise care so as not to jeopardize your governmental student loan(s).

B. Addresses of Provincial Student Aid Authorities

Canadian students are to apply for government assistance to the appropriate agency in that province or territory in which the applicant is a bona fide resident.
