At Windsor we are proud to offer a competitive funding program for graduate students:
- Scholarships for Canadian students: students entering research-based programs with averages that meet or exceed the equivalent of a Canadian 80% will be considered for a scholarship valued at $6,000 per year.
- Scholarships for International students: students entering research-based programs with averages that meet or exceed the equivalent of a Canadian 80% will be considered for a scholarship valued at $6,000 per year. In addition, international students whose cumulative average is equivalent to a Canadian 85% or better will receive a supplemental $4,380 per year
International students may also be eligible for scholarship and bursary support through programs based in or administered through their home country. We recommend that international students investigate potential sources of support prior to making an application to graduate school, noting that, in Ontario, tuition costs for international students are higher than those for Canadians and Canadian permanent residents (landed immigrants).
Scholarships are tenable for up to 2 years (Master's) and 4 years (Ph.D.).
NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR award recipients will receive a tuition scholarship.
OGS and OGSST award recipients will receive a partial tuition scholarship of $3,000 per year.
- Additional funding for both Canadian and international students may be available, such as a graduate (teaching) assistantship awarded through the student's academic department, and/or a research assistantship from the supervisor's research grant.
