Graduate funding
The minimum guaranteed stipend for all students in the program is $18,000/year.
All students who apply before May 1 with a GPA of 7.0 or better (or equivalent) will be eligible for* either a University of Victoria Fellowship or a University of Victoria Graduate Award in their first year. These awards guarantee a minimum stipend of $23,000 per year.
The Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Victoria sponsors a generous number of these awards and students who maintain a minimum GPA of 7.0 in their graduate course work will remain eligible for renewal of these awards in subsequent years.
