Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Minimum Funding Policy for Thesis-based Graduate Students Overview:
Full-time MSc-Thesis and PhD graduate students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences will receive funding to support for their living expenses, tuition and fees. A student鈥檚 funding may come from a combination of sources including, but not limited to, the supervisor鈥檚 research funds, Graduate Excellence Funds, Differential Fee Waivers, and scholarships awarded to the student. Travel and presentation awards do not contribute to the minimum funding package. Funding will be provided to students for a minimum of two years for MSc-Thesis programs and for five years for PhD programs. Shorter periods of funding support are acceptable if the final thesis is submitted prior to the end of these time limits. It is strongly encouraged that funding be extended until submission of the final thesis. Students must demonstrate adequate progress and meet required program milestones. Annual minimum funding levels are outlined in the FMHS Graduate Student Funding Policy Rates document.
