Introduction

Financial Assistance for Graduate Students
 
Full-time students are encouraged to apply for Social Science and Humanities Research Council Scholarships, Ontario Graduate Scholarships, Mental Health Foundation Fellowships, and the like. Application deadlines are generally in the Fall prior to admission to a graduate program.

Teaching assistantships are available for full-time students. Research assistantships are also available but vary in amount depending upon the nature of the research project and its sponsor. A student may serve as both a teaching assistant and a research assistant in the same term, but may only work a maximum of 10 hours per week on the TA and/or the RA if the latter is not related to the student's own research. Support from various provincial departments may be available to conduct specified thesis research at the graduate level.

Students residing in countries other than Canada are advised that many of the above sources of financial aid are available only to those who are citizens of Canada. It is advisable to clarify your own situation with the Graduate Officer when making application for admission. (See Graduate Studies application information)
