Funding

All applicants for the MA program will be considered, on a competitive basis, for scholarship funding. Such funding is available in three forms: Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS) Scholarships, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Scholarships, and Izaak Walton Killam Predoctoral Scholarships (more information on the Killam Scholarship here killamtrusts.dal.ca/). Candidates who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents and who wish to be considered for FGS Scholarships are strongly encouraged to apply for the relevant scholarships or fellowships offered by SSHRC (further information available at www.sshrc.ca). The deadlines for SSHRC applications fall in the autumn of the year preceding the year in which studies begin. Candidates who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents and who wish to be considered for the Killam Scholarship MUST apply for the relevant scholarships or fellowships offered by SSHRC.

All candidates wishing to be considered for departmentally administered scholarships should note that the application deadlines set by the Department (April 1), falls well in advance of the admission deadline of June 1: Killam Scholarships and FGS Scholarships, December 1.

PhD students will only be accepted with external scholarship funding (e.g. SSHRC or Killam Scholarships). They are not eligible for FGS Scholarships in the Department of Classics.

All admitted students (MA and PhD) will be considered for a Graduate Teaching Assistantship.
