At Concordia University, competitive funding packages are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. These funding packages may include awards that are generated by the operating funds of Concordia University and/or through the generosity of individual donors.

A sample of awards paid through the operating funds of Concordia University can include the following:

• Concordia University Doctoral Graduate Fellowship, valued at $14,000 per year for 4 years
• Concordia International Tuition Award of Excellence, award value is paying tuition fees at the Quebec rate. Valued at approximately $37,915
• Concordia Merit Scholarship, valued at $10,000

These awards are often topped up by teaching and research assistantships, making the overall funding package financially sufficient to allow students to finish their degree in a timely manner.

Students are encouraged to apply early for admission to benefit from these awards; there is no separate application process for graduate fellowships.
