Funding guidelines for incoming DCL and LLM students

DCL candidates

Our package聽for students entering in聽2024 to 2025 guarantees DCL students聽four聽years of tuition payments. We will also provide $20,000 of guaranteed funding for living expenses ($5,000 per year for four years), plus a potential $39,000 of supplemental funding spread across a four-year period (payable if students do not have external grant support). Students are expected to apply for federal and provincial grants for which they are eligible; the Graduate Programs Office assists students with their applications. Please note that students are responsible for paying all other student fees besides tuition (student society fees, student services charges, copyright fee, dental insurance, health insurance, etc.).聽Funding and its renewal beyond 2024-2025 are conditional upon maintaining satisfactory standing in the DCL program. Funding amounts are based on annual budgets and funding package amounts聽for future incoming students聽may vary.

LLM candidates

We have very limited internal funding for LLM students aside from a few special fellowships (e.g.聽Research Group on Health and Law and O鈥橞rien Fellowships). Most LLM students will receive no funding from the Faculty. You should plan your affairs on the basis that you will not receive funding.

Master's students should also look into the McCall MacBain Scholarships, which are destined for Master's Programs at 缅北强奸.

External funding

All graduate students are encouraged and expected to apply for all external scholarships and fellowships for which they are eligible. For a list of graduate student funding opportunities, consult 缅北强奸's Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website. Eligible LLM students are encouraged to apply for external McCall MacBain Scholarships.

Important: The funding packages of students receiving external awards (SSHRC, FQRSC, Vanier, etc.) may be reduced in order to distribute financial support more widely to the graduate student community, all while recognizing the effort undertaken to obtain external funding.
