Financial support is provided to all full-time M.Sc. and Ph.D. students admitted to the program. Full-time M.Sc. students receive a minimum of $17,530 annually for 2 years. Ph.D. students receive a minimum of $19,530 annually for up to 3 years. In year 4, Ph.D. students will receive a GTA. Financial support comes from diverse sources, such as internal scholarships, external scholarships, Graduate Teaching Assistantships or faculty research funds. Support levels are reviewed annually.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for external scholarships (NSERC, OGS) on their own behalf during their last year of undergraduate or M.Sc. programs. Application deadlines for these and other external scholarships are typically in October or November.
More information about financial support and scholarships is available from the Graduate Studies Office at Financial Aid and Recognition of
