Financial aid and awards
Undergraduate students
Entrance Scholarships are awarded to newly admitted students from a CEGEP or a secondary school outside of Quebec who have achieved a high academic standing. In order to be eligible, students must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident and must have applied by the official application deadline date(s).
Eligible students are ranked, and the highest ranked students are contacted by the Dean's Office and asked to reply by specified deadlines using the Arts and Science Scholarship Confirmation form.
For more information on bursaries and scholarships, visit the Tuition & financial aid website.
Graduate students
Graduate students have access to a range of funding opportunities, including fellowships, awards, and assistantships offered through the Faculty of Arts and Science, its departments, and the School of Graduate Studies.
Faculty of Arts and Science
The Faculty of Arts and Science offers recruitment fellowships to incoming students through a selective process. Graduate students may also be eligible for teaching assistantships within their departments, as well as research assistant opportunities with faculty members and research centres across the Faculty.
Beyond recruitment funding, the Faculty also supports graduate students who are organizing academic conferences at Concordia or travelling to present papers, posters, or exhibits at conferences elsewhere.
School of Graduate Studies
Incoming students who win major external awards (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, FQRSC, FQRNT, FRSQ) are offered top-up funding from the School of Graduate Studies. The School of Graduate Studies also provides thesis completion awards to select doctoral students on a competitive basis.
Graduate students are eligible for additional Concordia University Graduate Fellowships and International Student Fee Remissions through the School of Graduate Studies.
The School of Graduate Studies offers support, on a competitive basis, to students presenting papers. It also administers the distribution of various prizes and awards that are targeted to students in particular fields and disciplines. For a complete list of these awards, see the Graduate Awards Directory.
Did you know?
Students applying to Concordia from elsewhere in Canada should be aware that tuition rates in Quebec are among the lowest, if not the lowest, in North America.
In particular, at the PhD level, all Canadian students and permanent residents pay Quebec fees regardless of their province of origin or domicile at the time of application.
