Graduate Program - University Funding
Program requirements, course offerings and funding can change due to unforeseen circumstances. Please confirm the funding model relevant to your particular situation with the Graduate Administrator
All Graduate Students
The funding outlined in your letter of offer is described in full detail below. Please note that where budgets permit, the department will make every effort to provide a full scholarship to offset tuition fees. All graduate students are both encouraged and expected to seek external funding through scholarship applications to those agencies for which they are eligible (e.g. OGS, SSHRC or NSERC). Please see the Scholarships and Awards page and the SGPS website for this and other relevant information. External scholarship holders, if eligible, will receive a teaching assistantship and some university scholarship support, in addition to their external scholarship.
