Richard and Melda Murray Jamaican Engineering Scholarship
Offered by Dalhousie University
About this scholarship
The Richard and Melda Murray Jamaican Engineering Scholarship is a high-value Dalhousie entrance award for students from Jamaica entering the Bachelor of Engineering program. Dalhousie publishes the award in its International Students scholarship section and lists the value as CAD $88,000, paid as CAD $22,000 renewable for four years. The award is partial funding because it is a fixed scholarship and does not guarantee coverage of all tuition, mandatory fees, residence, meals, books, insurance, travel, or personal expenses for every engineering student. The official eligibility statement identifies students from Jamaica entering Bachelor of Engineering study who demonstrate good academic standing and financial need. Applicants follow Dalhousie's General Entrance Award route: submit the university admission application in the Application Portal, then complete the General Entrance Award application and provide required transcripts before the annual deadline. Dalhousie states that the General Entrance Awards program considers academic achievement, leadership, extracurricular involvement, community service, financial need, and cultural identity across awards, with some awards renewable when recipients meet stated standards.
