You can fund your graduate studies through UVic fellowships, teaching or research assistantships, or a combination of all three.

Consider adding co-operative education to your degree. Co-op lets you alternate coursework with paid work experience and our co-op program is the largest graduate co-op program in Canada.

As a graduate student, you're eligible for a number of scholarships and awards.

UVic scholarships & awards

The Faculty of Graduate Studies provides awards to graduate students of high academic standing who are registered in a graduate degree program.

The distribution, value and duration of these awards and fellowships are determined by each academic unit; final approval is made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Donor awards may have other criteria in addition to GPA to be considered for the award. 

Not all scholarships require an application; for more information visit to search for specific funding. For scholarships and awards on the online graduate scholarship application that require a financial need assessment, please complete the budget within the online application. 

Students need to ensure they meet all FGS funding eligibility criteria and regulations in order to retain their graduate funding.

Note: graduate funding is normally for the current academic year (September to August), unless otherwise stated in the FGS offer letter. Your funding in not automatically renewed and is at your department's discretion.

Annual progress report

Students who hold a SSHRC or NSERC CGSD award must complete an annual research progress report detailing the achievements of the previous year and the objectives for the next year. FGS will contact students each year with the required deadline to complete.
