Graduate students enrolled in the Tri-University Graduate Program in History are funded according to the scholarship and funding policies at the university at which they are enrolled. A minimum guaranteed funding package for domestic MA students is available at each of the participating universities which normally includes a combination of Graduate Teaching Assistantships and internal scholarships.
Incoming and continuing students are strongly encouraged to apply for external scholarships such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funding.
