Killam Fellowships Program (students)
Campus application deadline is typically the last day of classes in the fall semester: in 2022-23, this is December 14, 2022.
The Killam Fellowships Program, administered by Fulbright Canada, allows undergraduate students from Canada and the United States to participate in a program of binational residential exchange. Killam Fellows spend either one semester or a full academic year as an exchange student in the host country. Students can apply either to the direct exchange program, which is limited to certain participating university partners, or to the open competition, allowing for participation from (and to) any accredited degree-granting college or university in either country.
Wellesley is a participating university partner in the program, and the competition is run by Jennifer Thomas-Starck, Director of the Office of International Study.
