Study abroad for a semester in the United States! Killam Fellowships Program 2024-25

The Killam Fellowships program is an exceptional opportunity for full-time Canadian undergraduate students to pursue an exchange program at American universities. Applicants chosen through a competitive selection process are awarded a US$6000 scholarship (approx. CAD$8100) for their exchange study in the US. For information, see the 2024-25 program flyer here and the website here.

 

Interested students should submit their SMU Exchange application package (see information here) to the Global Learning and Intercultural Support Office by December 15 2023.

 

Credits

Academic credits may be earned to the extent that they are applicable to your SMU degree. Book an advising appointment with your academic advisor to review which of the remaining program requirements may be completed on a transfer-credit basis and how the Letter of Permission Request Form works for the transfer of credits. You will pay SMU tuition at SMU for the transfer credit hours.
