Funding for international graduate students in most programs is similar to that offered to domestic students. Doctoral students in a given program, for example, are typically all eligible for the same funding package regardless of citizenship status. In many cases, your government or other agencies or corporations in your home country may offer funding for study in the U.S., which we strongly encourage you to explore.
A wide variety of funding sources may be available to you, depending upon your area of study, home country, and other factors. Education USA advisors in 400 locations around the world can often offer guidance and information on the graduate school application and admissions process, and along with other organizations, such as the Institute of International Education , typically maintains lists of region-specific funding sources. UChicago’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) has a list of some major sources of funding available here .
The University of Chicago offers the majority of incoming doctoral students competitive funding packages, which cover tuition, health insurance premiums for the student, and a stipend for living expenses. For more information about specific funding for your degree program, please refer to the funding information for each division or school.
In most cases, international students cannot participate in U.S. federal loan programs, but may still apply for private alternative loans in the United States. (Please note that some of these loans may require a co-signer in the U.S.) Foreign applicants are urged to seek aid from other areas (such as fellowships awarded through their home country) before seeking admission to a graduate program at the University of Chicago.
During their time at UChicago, students can find a variety of employment opportunities that support their education without interfering with their studies. The majority of student jobs on campus are open to all current students, regardless of their citizenship, who are authorized to work in the United States. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) provides forms, requirements, and job search advice for international students with F-1 or J-1 status who seek employment in the United States. Visit Employment Information for International Students for more information.
The Office of International Affairs (OIA) and the College’s Career Advancement office have teamed up to create a host of exciting events for international students embarking on their job search. Please see the OIA’s Calendar for upcoming events.
Students may work as volunteers or unpaid interns without additional authorization, where this practice does not violate U.S. labor law.

The University of British Columbia offers and administers many programs that provide financial help to graduate students.
Merit-based funding.
Merit-based funding refers to financial support, such as awards, scholarships etc., offered in recognition of a student's achievements. These usually require an application to be adjudicated in a competitive process with the top-ranked students receiving the funding offers.
Need-based funding refers to programs that provide eligible students who cannot meet basic educational costs, usually based on their income, with financial assistance, e.g. loans, bursaries, and emergency funding. These funds originate from donors and provincial and federal governments. Need-based funding for graduate students is administered by Enrolment Services.
The Graduate Awards department at the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is responsible for administering merit-based (also known as competition-based) graduate awards at the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia, as well as a limited number of non-merit-based awards such as the International Tuition Award, President's Academic Excellence Initiative PhD Award, and Graduate Student Travel and Research Dissemination Fund. Graduate Awards manages a number of award competitions each year and administers payment of both internally- and externally-funded awards.
Program funding packages.
Students should check their degree program listing on our website at Graduate Degree Programs . Depending on the degree program, there may be program funding packages offered by the UBC department. The degree program listing may also include statistics on average funding in the program.
Graduate students can view the awards opportunities that are available for students to apply to on our website at Award Opportunities .
Each department/program may have awards that they can offer to their students. Ask specifically about GSI and department recommended awards.
PhD students should also inquire about the Four Year Fellowship and the minimum funding policy for PhD students.
There are many awards offered by external agencies that students can apply for. However, the key external funding that students should be aware of is Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC) funding.
Applicants should review the Tri-Agency award databases:
Agency award competition application deadlines are typically in the Fall each year. Interested applicants should check our database for UBC-specific essential guidance for applying for Tri-Agency funding.
Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.
UBC, through the support of its many donors and through funding provided by the provincial and federal governments, offers a wide range of programs to provide financial assistance to eligible students who cannot meet basic educational costs.
In-depth information about needs-based graduate awards such as loans, bursaries and other types of financial aid is available from Enrolment Services .
Please contact an Enrolment Services Advisor if you’d like to discuss your situation.
Important note : The below content is provided for informational purposes only. The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is not involved with student service appointments. Student service appointments are managed by individual graduate programs. Graduate students who are interested in Research Assistant or Teaching Assistant opportunities should contact their UBC program or department.
Student service appointments are intended to help properly qualified students of UBC meet the cost of their studies at the university. Student appointments may involve part-time duties in teaching, research, or other academic activities.
Normally, only those students registered full-time in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies are eligible. Appointments offered to students prior to their admission to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies are contingent upon admission. Student service appointments are coordinated and administered at the graduate program level.
There are five categories under which graduate students may be appointed:
For descriptions please see the Academic Calendar .
Different types of student funding are treated differently with regard to taxation:
In February of each year, UBC will provide students with a T4A form for all fellowship earnings and a T4 form for all regular earnings received during the previous calendar year (January to December). Students are responsible for filing income tax returns on these earnings.
Most external funding agencies have clearly defined policies regarding additional funding for award recipients. Funding agencies might restrict the amount students are eligible to receive from other awards, number of hours they can spend on work unrelated to their research, the type of research grants used to pay any additional Research or Teaching Assistantships, etc. It is the award recipients' responsibility to comply with the rules and regulations of their award.
Effective March 2018, G+PS no longer limits the number of employment hours for any award holders.
UBC has determined that, due to domestic and international employment and taxation laws, students cannot be hired as Teaching Assistants unless they are physically located in Canada. Specific questions about TA appointments should be directed to your UBC graduate program.

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.
International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.
A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .
Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.
Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.
Financial support options – resource from Enrollment Services
Below is information about how to apply for awards offered by the Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies.
There are hundreds of awards that UBC graduate students can apply for, so it’s not possible to list all the specific awards each category of student is eligible for. Each award has its own unique eligibility requirements that will not be applicable to all students. For example, an award may be limited to only Canadian citizens, or to students in a specific field of research.
However, the filters on the Award Opportunities page allow students to narrow down which awards they might be eligible for. Click on each award result and view the “Eligibility Requirements” to confirm eligibility for the specific award.
Coursework only degree programs : Almost all of the awards listed on the Award Opportunities webpage have research as part of their eligibility requirements. Graduate students in “coursework only” degree programs (such as MPT) are recommended to contact their UBC department to find out what award funding their department may have for “coursework only” degree program students.
Degree programs that are not administered by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies : Degree programs that are not administered by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (such as MEng and MEL programs) are not eligible for any award funding listed on the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website. Graduate students in this type of degree program are recommended to contact their UBC department to find out what award funding their department may have for their degree program.
Scholarship databases
Listed below are some internal and external award and scholarship databases that may be of use to current and prospective students.
Graduate students are encouraged to apply for awards once they have submitted their admission application to UBC. Students do not need to wait until they start their graduate degree program to start applying for awards.
There are award application deadlines throughout the year. However, the major award competitions tend to have application deadlines from September to December of each year.
For example:
However, there are also a number of notable scholarships that have application deadlines at other times in the year. For example:
The awards listed on the Award Opportunities webpage typically include a sub-section for application procedures, or a link to where you can locate that information.
Refer to the individual award entries on the Award Opportunities webpage for information on the application deadlines for individual awards.
Common documents required for award applications are:
Refer to the application procedures for requirements for individual awards; document requirements vary.
Be sure to turn to the many resources available to support you in crafting applications in your programs, at UBC, from funders, and beyond.
As you progress from a consumer to a producer of knowledge through your graduate training, you will be incorporated into scientific institutions more and more. Some of the most fundamental precepts of scientific endeavours are the notion that we are building on the work of others in a cumulative fashion and that peer review is the most realistic but also consistent way to evaluate scholarship. The degree to which these precepts are applied vary significantly from discipline to discipline, but the structures that have been built around these principles are broadly in place with funders and funding applications reflect these structures.
Applications for funding are an important mechanism by which you receive feedback on (proposed) research. This feedback and similar selection processes will accompany you throughout your research career, it is thus important to begin to understand funding mechanisms early on to give yourself to benefit from them, but also to learn more about the scientific enterprise.
All fellowship applications can be thought of as an opportunity to apply and refine skills that you have learned elsewhere in your graduate formation. The specifics of a given fellowship are simply an attempt by a funding agency to turn its expectations of research and people that are to be funded into a format that can be handled by academic adjudication processes.
Almost all fellowship applications are built around two main aspects of excellence: your record of past achievement and the promise of your future research. Sometimes, additional criteria are specified.
Note that competition formats are fundamentally built around the desire to be able to select excellent applications. Materials submitted or forms to be filled out are thus designed to elicit information that adjudicators can use in determining the fundability of one application over another. Funders invest in descriptions of the criteria of excellence that are to be applied in order to provide guidance to applicants as well as adjudicators. You can assume that there are no secret instructions to prefer one kind of applicant or proposal over another.
Note that almost all competitions are looking for excellence, not mere eligibility. Fundamentally, it is your task to communicate the enthusiasm you feel about your research in such a way that adjudicators and committees are convinced that your proposed research will make important contributions to the collective academic project and that you are the best/best-prepared person to conduct this research.
Given the centrality of peer review processes to academic activities, you should be thinking about some elements of applications at all times. For example, there will be many occasions when you will want to be able to persuade an audience of the importance of the contribution that your research will be making, whether that is a supervisor with whom you’re discussing next steps, a conference audience, or a job interview panel.
Adjudicators are typically volunteering their time on committees and are dedicated to the fairness and consistency of adjudication processes. They are also often under time pressure.

At Yale, you can earn your doctorate at our expense.
Our funding packages for Yale PhD students are among the most generous in the world. Every PhD student receives a fellowship for the full cost of tuition, a stipend for living expenses, and paid health coverage, though the details of your funding package will differ depending on your academic program. On average, doctoral students receive more than $500,000 in tuition fellowships, stipends, and health premium benefits over the course of their enrollment. Full PhD funding normally extends for a minimum of five years, unless your doctoral program is of shorter duration, e.g., Investigative Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Public Health.
The main categories of funding available to PhD students are detailed below. Our Programs & Policies handbook contains additional information about funding and fellowship opportunities available at the Graduate School, along with applicable policies.
If you have questions about your funding, you can ask your program registrar or DGS, Graduate Financial Aid, or Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels.
University Fellowships (UFs) are provided through the Graduate School and do not require teaching in Yale's Teaching Fellow Program. UFs are often used during the initial year(s) of your doctoral program to cover your stipend and tuition, when you are engaged in coursework and identifying an adviser.
For official policies governing University Fellowships, including information on deferring a UF, please see our Programs & Policies Bulletin .
In subsequent years and in most programs, your stipend will be funded by a teaching fellowship or a research assistantship.
Teaching Fellowships (TFs) are contingent on teaching Yale's Teaching Fellow Program (TFP). While you are on a TF, a portion of your stipend is compensation for teaching. The rest of your stipend will come from other sources, depending on your department or program. See the Teaching Fellow Funding page for more information.
The teaching portion of your stipend is subject to federal tax withholding, so you will notice a difference in your paycheck in teaching versus non-teaching semesters.
In lieu of teaching in the Teaching Fellow Program, PhD students in the humanities and social sciences may choose to undertake one of the available Professional Development Opportunities . These positions allow you to gain professional experience at a library, museum, or other office on campus relevant to your studies.
If you are in the natural sciences, your funding will likely come from training grants and faculty research grants at some point during your enrollment. In most programs, you may only join a research group that has active grant funding. Please consult with your DGS, if you have questions about this aspect of your funding package.
We strongly encourage you to compete for external fellowships. Winning an external award in a national competition, whether sponsored by a public or private agency, is a significant honor. External fellowships may be subject to our Combined Award policy. Please be sure to review our External Fellowships & Awards page to understand how external awards interact with university funding.
An external fellowship may also offer you added flexibility in your program.
You can search for external fellowships through the Yale Student Grants Database , other university search engines (e.g., UCLA ), and commercial sites .
You must notify the Graduate School of any external awards you receive.
For any questions and concerns regarding your combined award letter, please contact the Graduate School Financial Aid Office via email at [email protected]. Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels can also advise regarding our Combined Award policy.

Some NSF opportunities focus explicitly on supporting graduate student training through internships and other activities, like NSF's Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate Students (INTERN) program.
The prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master's or doctoral degrees in STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — or in STEM education.
The five-year fellowship provides three years of financial support that can be used at accredited U.S. institutions. This support includes an annual stipend and a cost-of-education allowance covering tuition and fees.
Applicants must be citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the United States. Applicants must be pursuing full-time research-based master's and doctoral degrees in STEM or in STEM education at accredited U.S. institutions.

The award amounts of these grants vary across programs but typically fall between $15,000 to $40,000 (excluding indirect costs).
Doctoral students enrolled in U.S. institutions of higher education who are conducting scientific research are eligible to apply. Applicants do not need to be U.S. citizens.
These proposals are submitted to NSF through regular organizational channels by the doctoral student's dissertation advisor, with the student serving as the co-principal investigator on the proposal.

Get a studentship to fund your doctorate.
UKRI studentships offer funding for doctoral research. They also offer you access to training, networking and development opportunities to help you build a research and innovation career.
Our expectations for research organisations, supervisors and students are set out in the statement of expectations for doctoral training .
You could get:
The stipend is usually non-taxable and does not need to be paid back. Some research organisations may offer more if you study in London, or they or one of their collaborators might decide to top up the payment. This will be outlined in the studentship advert from the research organisation.
We normally pay the support for tuition fees directly to your research organisation.
The levels given here are for the academic year 2024 to 2025. UKRI’s approach to doctoral stipend and fee levels will be reviewed through the new deal for postgraduate research .
As a UKRI-funded doctoral student, you may be able to access additional funding to cover the cost of other related training and development opportunities.
This could include:
The availability of support will depend on the research organisation and the training grants they have on offer. You should contact the research organisation you are interested in applying to, to find out what you could get.
If you have a disability, you may be entitled to a Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) on top of your studentship.
You should speak to your research organisation’s disability advisor to assess your needs. They can help put the right support in place, including a DSA application if necessary. You cannot claim DSA directly from UKRI.
DSA helps to cover the cost of any additional support that a person studying for a doctorate might need as a result of a disability, mental health problem or specific learning difficulty.
The allowance covers:
Find out more about DSA in our framework .
If you are a research organisation you can download claim forms and guidance for DSA .
Any prospective doctoral student wishing to study at a UK research organisation, including prospective international students, can apply for a UKRI studentship.
All UKRI-funded doctoral students will be eligible for the full award, both the stipend to support living costs, and home-level fees at the UK research organisation rate.
Many UK research organisations offer some form of studentship funding from UKRI. These opportunities will depend on the subject you want to study and will normally be advertised by the research organisations.
Research organisations may have additional opportunities that do not involve UKRI. UKRI supports around 20% of all UK-based postgraduate researchers. You should speak to the research organisation you are interested in to find out what studentships are available.
You could also consider using a specialist website like FindaPhD to look for opportunities.
Research organisations set their own deadlines for applications.
Many open for applications early in the academic year and close in January or February. This is not a hard and fast rule. It is important that you check the deadlines for the research organisation where you want to study.
You cannot apply to UKRI for a studentship. You must contact the research organisation you are interested in studying with and use their application process.
For doctoral students who are already studying with a studentship, there are opportunities to get additional funding to support placements that are separate from your doctorate. Find training and development opportunities .
