Building Canada's future
Since 1965, the Killam Trusts have awarded more than one billion dollars across 8,000 scholarships and fellowships to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty at Killam institutions across Canada. No other philanthropic effort has contributed this level of funding to higher education in Canada.
The Killam vision and support was undoubtedly the major driver in our transformation from a small college by the sea to a globally recognized research university.听
