Funding

 

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

For more information, email our Graduate Advisor at clasgrad@dal.ca.

Master’s

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 administered by the department; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Scholarships; and scholarships administered by FGS through the Harmonized Scholarship Process, including Izaak Walton Killam Predoctoral Scholarships (more information on the Killam Scholarship here killamtrusts.dal.ca/). Applicants 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 are in the autumn of the year preceding the year in which studies begin (usually Dec. 1). Applicants who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents and who wish to be considered for the Killam Scholarship are strongly encouraged to apply for the relevant scholarships offered by SSHRC. All applicants wishing to be considered for departmentally administered scholarships should note that the application deadline set by the Department (April 1) falls well in advance of the admission deadline of June 1.

PhD

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.
