ASSISTANTSHIPS

Graduate Research Scholarships (GRS)  The Faculty of Graduate Studies, through its departments, annually awards over 500 Graduate Research Scholarships. They are valued at $4100 per four-month term.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GAT) which normally require about 12 hours per week of instruction, preparation and marking, are available. They are administered by the Department and are awarded on the basis of area of specialization and teaching skills in the English language.

Assistantships from Research Funds are available from faculty members in the Department of Geomatics Engineering. The needs for research assistants clearly depend on the nature of the research projects and individual faculty members should be consulted for any further information.

Awards and Financial Assistance for Graduate Studies are listed in the Faculty of Graduate Studies Calendar.
