Laurentian University offers a variety of scholarships and bursaries to support graduate students, including Master and PhD programs.
Graduate Teaching Assistantship/Fellowship
Eligible full-time domestic or international students who achieve the required average of 75% are offered Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAs) to teach classes. The awards are split between employment and fellowship.
1. Laurentian University pays master’s students $9,741 ($4,758 in salary twice a month and $4,983 as a graduate fellowship, in a single installment into their accounts.
2. Laurentian University pays $14,124 ($7,058 biweekly as salary to doctoral students and $7,066 as a single installment for graduate fellowship) into their respective accounts.
Appointed students must provide up to ten hours of teaching help per week. Only students enrolled full-time in the first two years of Laurentian’s graduate master’s program or the first four years of the doctoral program are eligible for GTAs. If a student has fulfilled the prerequisites mentioned above, they are eligible for a GTA (Graduate Teaching Assistantship). After being admitted, you must register for classes during the academic year’s autumn and winter terms.
