Applications are made online through this website.

The Canada Council for the Arts is now accepting new applications.

In order to submit an application you must acquire a user name and password from the Killam Program staff at Killam@canadacouncil.ca. You must do this even if you have applied previously as user names and passwords are not retained for more than one competition.

Please check the eligibility criteria first.

Please note:

• These are release-time fellowships.
• Retired professors are not eligible to apply. If you are close to retirement, sufficient time must remain to permit completion of the research project prior to your retirement.
• A Killam Research Fellowship cannot be used during a sabbatical; the sabbatical period must occur either beforehand or afterward.

For reference purposes, you can consult the pdf version of the application form as well as instructions on how to apply.
