Foreign Exchange Opportunity via Fulbright Canada Killam Fellowship
The Killam Fellowships Program provides an opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students from universities in Canada and the United States to spend either one semester or a full academic year as an exchange student in the other country.
Students may participate in the program via the Open Competition modality — applying for and registering at the host university and paying host tuition fees.
We recommend that students consider applying to a Canadian institution for which tuition waiver agreements are in place through their home institution.
Conditions
- Students need to select courses that will receive credits at their home institution.
- Students that take up the Killam Fellowship in the last year of their undergraduate studies must complete their last semester at their home university.
- The Killam Fellowships Program offers a cash award of $10,000 US for a full academic year (pro-rated at $5,000 US for one semester), along with an allowance to offset the cost of health insurance in the currency of the host country.
- The Foundation hosts all new Killam Fellows at an Orientation program in Ottawa each fall and again at a seminar in Washington, D.C. each spring (should public health guidelines allow it).
- In addition, all Fellows are eligible to apply for a mobility grant in an amount not to exceed $800. The idea of the mobility initiative is to allow students to undertake an educational field trip, providing the Fellows with the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the culture of the host country.
Application deadline: January 31, 2022
