Fellowships and Assistantships
Several forms of financial assistance may be available to
students studying in the Department of Educational Studies.
Some of these are merit-based and some are need-based. Fellowships
and assistantships are generally regarded as merit-based while
awards, bursaries and work-study assignments are most often
need-based. Online information about need-based support can
be found at www.students.ubc.ca/finance/
and information about merit-based support can be found
at www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/index.asp?menu=002,000,000,000.
The Office of Graduate Programs and Research, Faculty of Education,
maintains a webpage that summarizes many of the forms of assistance
available to students in education. This page can be found
at www.educ.ubc.ca/ogpr/research/grants/index.html.
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral
Fellowships (SSHRCs) and Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGSs)
are awarded by competition annually. The departmental deadline
for complete SSHRC applications is usually in late September.
SSHRC fellowships are open to Canadian citizens and permanent
residents and are currently $19,000 per year. Canada Graduate
Scholarships are currently $17,500 per year for master's
students and $35,000 per year for three years for doctoral
students. Information on applying for SSHRC fellowships
and Canada Graduate Scholarships can be found at www.sshrc.ca.
- University Graduate Fellowships (UGFs) are highly competitive
and only full-time graduate students with first-class records
may apply. This competition occurs concurrently with the
SSHRC competition. Students who are not Canadian citizens
or permanent residents may apply for UGFs. Full UGFs are
$16,000 per year and partial UGFs are $8,000 per year. More
information on UGFs can be found on the website: www.grad.ubc.ca.
- Teaching Assistantships are usually awarded to advanced
graduate students who have been in their programs for at
least one year. Duties are required up to a maximum of 12
hours per week. TA positions are posted on the department's
e-mail network and Web site.
- Research Assistantships are offered when faculty have
work to be done on funded research projects. Openings for
research assistants are usually posted by the supervising
faculty. These postings typically include information on
the nature of the work, the pay rate, the total number of
hours expected and the duration of the project.
- Graduate Academic Assistantships involve duties up to
10 hours per week and are dependent upon the availability
of special project grants or contracts. Openings for GAA
positions are usually posted on the department's Web site
for a minimum of 2 weeks. Postings include information about
the nature of the work, the pay rate, and procedures and
deadlines for applying.
Graduate Entrance Scholarships
These scholarships are intended to encourage the enrolment
in UBC graduate programs of highly talented students who have
completed previous work at other universities. Those applicants
who are enrolled in their masters degrees from UBC at the
time of application are not eligible for GES funds. Those
with masters degrees from UBC who completed that degree more
than 12 months prior to the start date of the program they
are applying for are eligible for GES funding. You cannot
apply for these scholarships directly, but all eligible applicants
to the department's Ph.D. program will be considered. In most
cases, the offer of a GES will accompany the offer of admission
to the Ph.D. program.
Tuition Awards for Ph.D. Students
Effective September 2003, Ph.D. students in the first four
years of their doctoral programs are eligible for a Ph.D.
Tuition Fee Award, except in cases when Ph.D. tuition fees
are directly billed to a third-party. The Ph.D. Tuition Fee
Award is equivalent to the tuition fee assessment, which for
the academic year 2003-2004 is $3,200 per year for domestic
students and $7,200 for international students. This award
is credited toward tuition payments effectively offsetting
the tuition portion of the total fees owing each term. Students
are still responsible for paying student fees. More information
on Ph.D. Tuition Awards can be found on the Faculty of Graduate
Studies Web site: www.grad.ubc.ca.
Financial Aid
Various forms of need-based financial aid are available to
students who meet eligibility requirements. These most often
take the form of awards, bursaries or work-study assignments.
