Our department policy is to provide annual funding of at least $16,000 CAD for graduate students for 2 years of MA and $17,000 for 4 years of PhD study. The amount is paid through some combination of external and internal fellowships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships. All entering students are considered for the Graduate Entrance Award ($17,500). For details on other awards see Awards & Financial Aid.
