Overview of Dalhousie Scholarship

The Digital Transformation for Community Impact Scholarship supports exceptional incoming students into thesis-based master’s programs offered by Dalhousie’s faculties of Computer Science or Management whose work advances inclusive, ethical, and community-centred digital transformation. Supported through Scotiabank’s investment in Dalhousie University’s College of Digital Transformation (CDT), this scholarship is designed to attract emerging leaders whose research, innovation, or applied impact uses digital technologies to reduce systemic barriers and expand equitable participation in society. 

The scholarship reflects a core CDT principle: technology is not neutral. Digital transformation can reinforce existing inequities, or it can help dismantle them. This award supports students committed to shaping digital futures that are inclusive, accountable, and socially responsible. Interested and eligible applicants are encouraged to apply using the form provided at this link. 

At least two scholarships will be awarded for the 2027 cycle. Applications for the current year will be accepted until December 1st, 2026.
