Financial assistance may be in the form of fellowships and scholarships, research assistantships and teaching assistantships. Due to finite resources it is not possible to provide financial assistance to every qualified student, however, most of our graduate students do receive some support. Guidelines for financial assistance are available from the Graduate Studies Office. There is no separate application. Applications for federal and provincial scholarships for the academic year beginning in September must be submitted in the Fall of the previous year.
Many professors provide qualified graduate students with research assistantships.
For information about these, applicants should get in touch with one of the professors in their field of interest. Teaching Assistantships The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering hires a number of graduate students to assist its academic staff in teaching undergraduate courses during the Fall and Spring terms. Students should normally be attending the University before any application procedure will be initiated. Information about the positions available is posted approximately one to two months before each term begins.
