The Schulich School of Law has some scholarship money made available through endowments for graduate students. These funds are awarded by the Graduate Studies Committee. Taking the LLM on a part-time basis renders you ineligible for Schulich-specific financial support.

Schulich Graduate Scholarships

There are three Schulich graduate scholarships 鈥� one for a PhD student and two for LLM students.

H漫画 University has a number of awards potentially available to graduate students in law.

They are managed through the Harmonized Scholarship Process which allows for a current/prospective student to be considered for several FGS-managed scholarships using a single application, including the Nova Scotia Graduate Scholarship, Killam Predoctoral Scholarships, James Robinson Johnston Graduate Entrance Scholarship for African Canadians, African Nova Scotian Graduate Scholarship, Indigenous Graduate Scholarship,  Vitamin Scholarship and the Abdul Majid Bader Graduate Scholarship.

All required application material must be submitted via the Online Scholarship Platform.  Late submission may result in your application not being eligible for review. Only one Harmonized Scholarship application will be accepted per student per year.

For more information and to apply, please visit the Faculty of Graduate Studies website.

Some faculty members may be able to offer research funding on the basis of research grants. Research areas, faculty member in charge and amounts may change every year.

Many organizations outside Dal offer awards to our graduate students. Some of these are listed in the table below. Please bear in mind that applications for these awards may be due almost a year before our usual September enrolment.

Applications for these awards must be made by students directly to the relevant organization(s).
