Application requirement details:You must complete the following before the deadline to be considered for entrance awards:

- Complete the General Entrance Award application
- Pay the $70 CAD admissions application fee.
- Submit your official first semester transcript or, for NS and ON applicants, your provincial student ID number.
Study level you are applying for:Undergraduate
Generally, students need an 80% admission average or 26 predicted/anticipated IB Diploma points to be considered. Averages are calculated using the five courses that are required for the program that the student has applied for. Both domestic and international students are eligible to apply. For the First Nations and Indigenous Black Student (FNIB) Scholarships, the admissions average is not taken into consideration.
If you're applying to Dalhousie directly from high school (or have not completed any other transferable post-secondary study), please complete the General Entrance Award application after you have submitted your application in the Application Portal to be considered for the majority of entrance awards and bursaries available. These are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership, extracurricular involvement, community service, financial need and cultural identity. Please note, a small number of awards do require a separate application, that can be completed after you apply.
