University of Victoria Fellowships and awards (awarded in the Spring for the following year)

UVic graduate fellowships and awards are awarded competitively each year to students entering and continuing in the department. The fellowships/awards for incoming students currently have the value of $11,500 (MA students) or $16,500 (PhD students). Subequent to first year, funding amounts vary. In 2015, we offered $6,500 to MA students in their second year and $8,100 to PhD students up to their fourth year.

are awarded to all students who are also the holders of major national or international research awards from sources external to the University of Victoria (e.g. SSHRC). They are in the amount of $4000.

Research Assistantships

Many faculty members hold research grants that fund graduate students as research assistants. These positions are offered by grant holders, on the basis of academic excellence and area of specialization. Amounts vary from project to project from approximately $2000 to $10,000 annually.

Teaching Assistantships

Graduate students can also apply for teaching assistantships (normally in July, for the upcoming fall and spring courses). These are awarded based on students' expertise and abilities, the stage in their graduate programs, and their level of financial support from other sources.

Teaching Assistantships average approximately 50 hours/term, for a total of approximately $2,400/year (100 hours * $25.15 - the union-regulated TA salary as of September 2017). The exact number of hours can vary quite a bit, as a function of needs and demands.
