Financial Assistance

The Department offers full financial support to all M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. applicants who are admitted to our programs. Details of the support package are specified with the offer of admission. The support covers both academic fees and living expenses. This support comes from many sources: government scholarships, university fellowships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and industrial awards. Note that the total financial package provides sufficient funds to support the student, but is not intended to support family members as well. Top-up awards are granted to winners of government NSERC and OGS scholarships.

New applicants to our graduate programs do NOT need to complete any special forms to apply for departmental fellowships; you will automatically be considered for all such awards at the time of the admission decision. In particular, our most prestigious award, the Glynn Williams Fellowship, is offered to one outstanding applicant to our graduate programs each year.
