For those students that do not have external funding, financial support is guaranteed for every graduate student we accept. The minimum “take home stipend” (Stipend–Tuition and fees) is equivalent for all GWC2 students. The graduate stipends consist of a combination of a teaching assistantship and research assistantship. There are a number of in-course and entrance scholarships available. Students must have achieved an 80% (A-) standing in their most recent year of study to be eligible for these awards. Eligible students will be automatically considered. International students are eligible for many of these awards. Note that other scholarships and funding opportunities are available.
For Domestic students (Canadians and Permanent Residents), applications will be considered after these deadlines, although this may impact your eligibility for major awards and scholarships in your first year.
