Program Overview

The University of Toronto does not run one scholarship for PhD students. Instead, PhD students in the funded cohort receive a base funding package, and international students are included. Official department pages give a minimum of 40,000 Canadian dollars a year, and this amount includes tuition and fees, so the money left for living costs is about 31,000 dollars in some departments. Some units pay more: for example, the Temerty Faculty of Medicine lists 43,139 dollars for international PhD students. The package often includes teaching assistant income. The funded period is four years for students admitted with a master's degree and five years for direct-entry students. There is no separate funding application and no single deadline: you apply to the PhD programme, and each graduate unit sets its own admission deadline, so the date shown on this page is only an estimate. This page was last checked against University of Toronto department pages on 7 October 2026.
