Four University of Maine students have received Killam Fellowships to help fund their studies at
various Canadian institutions of higher learning during the 25-26 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Killam Fellowships Program provides undergraduate students in Canada and the U.S. with
opportunities to spend a semester or full academic year in the other country as exchange students.
Recipients receive a $6,000 stipend per semester, an allowance to offset health insurance costs, and a
grant of up to $800 for an educational field trip. The Killam Fellowship operates under Fulbright
Canada and provides students with academic and cultural connections with the Canadian Fulbright
community. UMaine students awarded the Killam Fellowship enroll for one or two semesters at one
of the participating Canadian universities.<\/p>\n\n\n
