The James R. Johnston Chair Graduate Scholarship
for Black / African Canadians
James R. Johnston was the first member of the Nova Scotia African Canadian Community to graduate in Law from Dalhousie University in 1898, and he played a very active public, professional and community role throughout his short life. The James Robinson Johnston Graduate Scholarship is supported by the Endowment for the James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black Canadian Studies, which was established in July 1996 "...to bring Black culture, reality, perspectives, experiences and concerns into the Academy". In the spirit of James Robinson Johnston, who believed that the best interests of African Canadians would be served through education, Dalhousie University each year offers a renewable graduate level scholarship to a promising African Canadian student, providing him/her the opportunity to pursue studies at the graduate level in the arts, sciences, health professions and management, as well as the professions of law, dentistry and medicine.
Purpose of the Fund
The intent of the scholarship fund is to support the development of Black Canadian scholars through graduate studies. This scholarship is intended to provide an opportunity for promising Black Canadian students to pursue their work at the graduate level. We acknowledge the generous support of RBC for providing the seed funding for this endowed scholarship fund.

The graduate program may be at the master's or doctoral level, and may include professional, course-based and thesis-based programs.
One scholarship will be awarded to an African Nova Scotian and a First Nations student, graduates of Dalhousie and accepted into a Dalhousie graduate program. The awards are valued at $15,000 per year and are renewable. Eligibility criteria and application forms can be found at the Faculty of Graduate studies website, www.dalgrad.dal.ca/forms/students
