Funding & Finances
Graduate Funding
Graduate student funding is provided in accordance with the Department of Biological Sciences Graduate Student Funding Policy.
Financial arrangements should be negotiated with your proposed senior supervisor as part of the process of applying and being accepted to the Department. If you are not a major scholarship holder (e.g., NSERC, CIHR), financial support is generally provided through a combination of the following sources:
If you hold a major award, such as an NSERC post-graduate scholarship or a C.D. Nelson entrance scholarship, you will have lower priority for funds administered by the Department. However, once your awards expire, you will have normal eligibility.
Scholarships and Awards
We encourage students to apply for both internal and external scholarships and awards. The Graduate Studies website is your go-to resource for Scholarships and Awards. If you have any questions about the Department's internal deadlines or requirements for scholarship applications, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant.
Tuition & Fees
All graduate students pay tuition fees upon registration each semester, according to the fee schedule set by the University. The most current fee information is available from Graduate Studies. International students pay the same rate as domestic students. This fee decreases after 6 semesters for Masters and 8 semesters for Doctoral students.
