Graduate Funding
M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. students are offered a competitive funding package upon admission. These funds are comprised of scholarships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss the exact level and the details of their funding package with potential supervisors as early as possible during the application process. Note that the actual funding level can be higher than the above-mentioned minimum amount if the student receives external awards or a higher Research Assistantship.
International Ph.D. students also receive an International Doctoral Tuition Support, reducing their tuition to the amount paid by domestic Ph.D. students in the same program.
Aside from the funding package offered at admission, there are external awards including:
- NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships for M.A.Sc. students ($27,000 per year) and for Ph.D. students ($40,000 per year)
- Ontario Graduate Scholarship for M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. students $15,000 per year.
- Fonds Québécois de la Recherche sur la Nature et les Technologies for M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. students $15,000 per year (available for Québec residents only).
Applications for all these must be submitted in late September, and the scholarships are awarded in late March.
