Scholarships and Awards
Graduate students are eligible for a variety of financial assistance programs including entrance or continuing scholarships, graduate fellowships, awards, teaching and research assistantships, bursaries and loans. Total scholarship support cannot exceed $50,000 per academic year.
Students who are not Canadian citizens and who would require financial assistance must seek assistance in their country of origin before arrival in Canada. Many external awards are restricted to Canadian citizens or permanent residents. However, foreign students are eligible for most internal awards after they have been accepted into a graduate program.
Merit-based graduate scholarships and awards are administered by the Dean of Graduate Studies Office while financial needs-based graduate scholarships, bursaries and loans, including Government student loans, emergency loans and the Work Study Program, are administered by Awards and Financial Aid.
