Hello ! I’m an International student that wants to go to UofT for gradschool (phD). I’m academically okay for the program (I have an overall A and all that jazz) but…. Where can I start looking for scholarships to live and study at UofT during those years? I’m a bit lost since I don’t know a thing about scholarships for international students that wants to go to Canada – Thank you !!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

the major scholarships that fund postgraduate study in Ontario are the NSERC and OGS scholarships. unfortunately, those are only available to domestic students. what i’d recommend is taking a look at your home country’s opportunities, if any, that are available for students travelling abroad. most countries have some form of financial aid for postgrads.<\/p>\n

we do have some scholarships available for international students<\/a>, and i’d strongly encourage you to apply to as many as you’re eligible for, but they do not provide nearly as much funding as is probably ideal.<\/p>\n

the good news is, as a PhD student, the university is committed to funding you. all the information about how financial support works for a physics PhD is available on page 29 of this document<\/a> provided by the department of physics. it shows that if you don’t have access to any scholarships, the university will still be able to support you through RA and TA-ships, and internal scholarships.<\/p>\n

here<\/a> is a breakdown about how much physics PhDs were funded depending on their year, and where the money came from.\u00a0<\/b>the aid hovers around $40k per student, depending on the year of your PhD. which is totally liveable.<\/p>\n

if you have further questions about how this all works, i’d recommend contacting the financial counsellor at the School of Graduate Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

best of luck,<\/p>\n
