Eudaimonia Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Does anyone have more information on Dalhousie Medicine entrance scholarships? Here it says they are automatic, while here it says there is an application. Maybe they're for different types of entrance scholarships? Also, what criteria are they based on, and how much are the scholarships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDhopeful1 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I know that they have some scholarships that are automatically granted with an offer, but there is also another chunk of scholarships that you have to apply for they are due around the end of September I believe. If you look at the Dalhousie University Calendar they have a list of scholarships that are available to medical students, and they all pretty much have different criteria (i.e PEI, NB, or NS residents, African Nova-Scotians, financial need-based, etc) and they vary in amount.

Thanks, took some digging to get that calendar but I found it. You wouldn't know how much the automatic ones are? Most of the ones listed in the calendar also don't show any value. Also, have the criteria to demonstrate financial need changed from when we were graduating high school? I can't help thinking that none of us will be in dire financial need with a LOC but that all of us will be perceiving ourselves as financially needy with that debt haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the criteria based on financial need, I'm guessing they might have us fill out some sort of budget form (like savings, income from the summer, benefits, etc). Again, I'm not sure if Dal will do it that way but that is how it was done for me in undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedHopeful93 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 (Med 1 here) in my year there were applications for scholarships, and a questionnaire for general scholarships and bursaries that you are considered for automatically. This includes budget, debt, expenses etc. I believe the earliest I heard for mine was like October/ November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
