FUNDING
Our assistantship and scholarship funding is among the best in the country. All applicants who are admitted will normally receive some funding from the Department. The University also has an extensive scholarship program from which financial assistance is also available on a competitive basis.
Students without external scholarships (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, AHFMR, etc) are guaranteed:
Graduate Assistantships -Teaching (GATs) valued at $8894.41 (for full GATs) and $4447.21 (for half GATs)
Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarships (GSS) for two years in the M.Sc. program and for four years in the Ph.D. program.
Normally, a graduate student would hold two GAT’s, one in the Fall and one in the Winter term, and a GSS during the summer. Thus, the minimum annual departmental support is approximately:
$20,500 for MScI & MScII
$21,000 for PhDI, PhDII, PhDIII, PhDIV
Students with external scholarships who wish to serve as teaching assistants may apply to the Director of Graduate Studies (click here for information for graduate contacts).
