TMU Graduate Fellowship

What you will need

• ✓ No application required; consideration is automatic for eligible graduate students

About this award

You can receive up to $12,000 if you are in a master's program or up to $16,000 if you are in a doctoral program. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate student seeking financial support to meet the demands of your advanced degree. There is no application and no deadline: eligible graduate students are considered automatically. TMU does not publish how it decides who receives the fellowship or how much — ask your graduate program administrator what your funding includes. Ask your graduate program administrator how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Toronto Metropolitan University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a graduate student at Toronto Metropolitan University. Funding is available for those in master's and doctoral programs. Consideration is automatic and no application is required.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid waiting for an application form to open. Instead, recognize that this award uses automatic consideration, meaning you are reviewed without submitting a separate request. Contact your graduate program administrator to ensure your file is complete.
• SupportAvoid guessing your funding status. Instead, reach out to your graduate program administrator for a clear breakdown of your package. This ensures you know exactly what is available to you.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the terms and conditions. Instead, read the agreement carefully before accepting the funds. Understanding the rules prevents issues with your funding later in the program.
• RealismAvoid counting on the maximum amount. Instead, treat these figures as upper limits. Remember that these awards are distributed on a competitive basis.
