At À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, graduate students may be able to receive funding from various sources such as Teaching Assistantships (TA), Research Assistantships (RA), Graduate Research Studentships (GRS), internal awards, external awards, bursaries and emergency loans.

Graduate funding and awards database

°¿³Ü°ùÌýgraduate funding and awards database is a repository of all awards available at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.

Many internal À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ awards have been made financially possible through donations from the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ community of Faculty, Staff, and Alumni, as well as donations from the public sector and private donors. Graduate students who receive a À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ award from an endowed or donated fund from a specific donor will be notified of this via email. Recipients will be asked to complete a short online form expressing how the award has impacted them personally. The Office of Development will then share these stories with the donor.

The majority of internal awards do not require an application. Instead, students are nominated by their departments based on specific award & selection criteria. Graduate students can also contact their department graduate co-ordinator for further details about internal À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ awards. 

President's Graduate Scholarship (PGS)

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ is pleased to provide the President's Graduate Scholarship (PGS) to outstanding graduate students who hold certain major federally and provincially funded competition-based scholarships.
