The Dorothy J Killam Memorial Graduate Prizes were created in the fall of 2002 to honor the memory of Dorothy J Killam. These are awarded annually to the most outstanding Killam Memorial Scholarship recipients.
Value
There are 3 Dorothy Killam Prizes in total, one for each Tri-Council area. Recipients receive a cash prize of $5,000 and a certificate acknowledging their award.
Application Procedures
There is no application form; recipients are selected by the Graduate Scholarship Committee during the competition’s final selection meeting.
Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, a research proposal, letters of recommendation, and leadership qualities.
The Killam Trusts have provided more than $1 billion in scholarships, fellowships and prizes to post-graduate scholars at five Canadian universities, and through the Canada Council. No other philanthropic effort has contributed this level of funding to higher education in Canada.
Established in 1965 by Izaak Walton Killam and his wife Dorothy J. Killam, the Killam Estate bequeathed a total of $125,000,000 in life and death for scholarships at the graduate and postgraduate levels to recognize research excellence.
The future of the Killam Trusts is bright. We are focused on social impact, accessibility, diversity, and the ground-breaking, dynamic Canadian researchers who will work together to make the world a better place.
