Killam Fellowship

The Killam Fellowships Program provides an opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students from universities in the United States to spend either one semester or a full academic year as an exchange student in Canada. Students may participate in the program either as a direct exchange student (registering at their home university, paying their home fees, and attending the host university as an exchange visitor) or as a self-placed visiting student (registering at the host university and paying host tuition fees). The program is designed for full-time undergraduate students in good standing at fully accredited degree granting colleges or universities in the United States. All applicants must be U.S. citizens with superior and competitive academic records who have met their home university's eligibility requirements for participation in international exchange programs. Applicants must be fluent in English and/or French where appropriate, and must be nominated by their home university. The fellowship provides $6,000 for one semester or $12,000 for a full academic year to support the exchange experience.
