What about scholarships and financial aid?

Your education is a big investment of time and money!  Our department understands how important it is to think about how those academic and living costs will be covered.

There are lots of scholarships that you will automatically be considered for.

For additional information about scholarships, bursaries, loans, and other financial aid, visit the Acadia Scholarships and Financial Aid office.

If you get involved with research as a student at Acadia there are many research-oriented awards available, such as NSERC's USRA program, the Scotia Scholars program, and others.

There are also many opportunities in and around Wolfville, on campus, and within the department for employment.

You can also complete the Physics major with the co-op option, allowing you to earn money as you complete work terms.

Is Acadia Physics inclusive of students of all backgrounds and identities?
