Brief description:

The Killam Scholarship and Prize Programmes were established in memory of
Izaak Walton Killam through the Will of his wife, Dorothy Johnston Killam,
and through gifts made during her lifetime. Their primary purpose is to
support advanced education and research at five Canadian universities and
the Canada Council for the Arts.

The UBC Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are provided annually
from the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies and are
available for most fields of research. It was Mrs. Killam's desire that
those selected to receive fellowships: "be likely to contribute to the
advancement of learning or to win distinction in a profession. A Killam
scholar should not be a one-sided person... Special distinction of
intellect should be founded upon sound character."

The number of new awards offered each year presently varies between three
and five.

Annual Value: 
An annual stipend of $50,000 for a maximum of two years plus a travel and
research allowance of $4,000 over two years.
