External Opportunities Abroad
Killam Fellowships Program
The Killam Fellowships Program for awards to be taken up in the academic year 2026-2027 is now open!
The program provides an opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students from universities in Canada and the United States to spend either a semester or a full academic year as an exchange student in the other country.
You can participate in the program in one of two ways:
Direct Exchange Student (Direct exchange competition)
You must be a student at one of our partner universities. Students register at their home university, pay their home university fees, and attend the host university as an exchange visitor.
Deadline to apply: Check your university鈥檚 internal deadline!
Self-placed Visiting Student (Open competition)
If you are a student at a university that is not a Killam partner, you can apply for and register at the host university and pay the host tuition fees.
