Funding from the University of Waterloo
The University of Waterloo and the Faculty of Arts are proud to offer nationally competitive funding packages to eligible incoming graduate students. Most funding packages are a combination of graduate research and/or teaching assistantships, and scholarships. An assistantship is essentially a part-time job of 10 hours per week for one or more academic terms, offering students pay and excellent academic work experience. A scholarship is disbursed over the year.
In addition to the scholarships open to all graduate students in the Faculty of Arts, students in the Public Issues Anthropology master's program are eligible for the following specific awards:
Entrance Award:
The Iris Yuzdepski Memorial Graduate Entrance Scholarship (up to $5000)
Awards available for students part-way through the program:
The Sally Weaver Tuition Award
The Iris Yuzdepski Memorial Graduate Award (application form)
