Available graduate scholarship awards are listed on the Faculty of Graduate Studies website.

External scholarships and other funding

To ensure you are maximizing your funding for your studies, we recommend you look at options in your home country, research scholarships provided by private organizations or companies, and visit the following resources:

• Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT)
• The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC)
• The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE)
• The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) - for graduate studies

York International also has a section on its website which outlines useful information on how to look for external funding.
