Graduate Scholarship and Awards Information
We understand pursuing graduate studies is a significant financial investment. To support you in meeting the financial demands of your graduate education, there are a number of scholarships and awards available on a competitive basis.
Funding provided directly by Toronto Met, via the Graduate Fellowship, the Graduate Development Award, and faculty-specific graduate funding, do not require an application, as eligible students will be automatically considered.
Graduate students should also access AwardSpring (external link) to apply for additional scholarships and awards relevant to their programs and studies. Further, there are Graduate Assistantships (GAs), Research Assistantships (RAs), and Graduate Student Stipends available. Please contact your graduate program and faculty supervisor for further information.
If you have questions about these scholarship and award programs, please contact your graduate program administrator.
