Minimum funding for graduate students
All full-time students in the MASc and PhD programs are guaranteed a minimum level of funding while they are within their program time limits and in good academic standing. All funding is contingent on satisfactory academic progress throughout the duration of a student's program.
Departments may choose to offer a higher minimum to all students and individual supervisors may choose to support students above the minimum requirements.
Minimum levels of funding are inclusive of vacation pay and benefits.
| Plan | Duration | Amount (per year) |
|---|---|---|
| MASc | 6 terms (2 years) | $17,500 |
| PhD-2 (from a complete Master's) | 12 terms (4 years) | $23,043 |
| PhD-3 (from a Bachelor's) | 15 terms (5 years) | $23,043 |
