The Faculty of Management Promise Scholarship is a Dalhousie University entrance award for Black and Indigenous students starting the Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Management. It belongs to the Faculty’s Promise Scholars program, launched in 2020.
Recipients study in person in Halifax, Canada. Applicants are considered through Dalhousie’s General Entrance Award application; no separate form is listed.

- Faculty advisors give academic and career support, including help finding work terms and career mentors.
- Payment requires full-time registration in each funded term.
Eligibility

- Usually an 80% average across the program’s five required courses, or 26 predicted IB points.
