ECE

|
Funding Commitment: The
Department will provide all eligible graduate students with an annual base
financial support package consisting of $17,500 CAD plus the cost of applicable
tuition and fees as set by the University of Toronto. Tuition
and fees are subject to change (increase or decrease) each year. Therefore,
the value of the annual base financial support package is subject to a
corresponding change (increase or decrease) each year. |

International Ph.D. Students
|
International Ph.D. students will be charged
domestic, instead of international, tuition.
Accordingly, international Ph.D. students will receive a funding
package that is approximately equal to the domestic student funding package,
plus the cost of the mandatory University
Health Insurance Plan (UHIP). Effective September 2021, the annual base financial
support package for international students in the Ph.D. program is $26,236
CAD. Ph.D. students in good standing will be funded around this level over
years one through four of program registration. Table 3A summarizes the
components of the annual base financial support package and their sources. |
