grad funding... so clueless.
Hi all,
I am so clueless when it comes to grad school. Can someone who has some idea give me their 2 cents, can I get some decent funding in a top school in the US (or get in for that matter), or Canada with a 4.0 ish GPA on a 4.3 scale and honours in economics? thanks. |

Spend 2 days searching through the last 2 years worth of threads on this forum. I am extremely doubtful there is a single question you could have that hasn't already been answered here. Also, see my signature for a starting point also, even if it doesn't apply 100% directly to you.

Depends on the school and the person. Toronto (for the Doctoral Stream) offered up to $23K to domestic students I believe. Most other schools offer less. (exception maybe UWO who makes funding offers on a case-by-case basis it seems). e.g Queen's 18K (domestic), UBC like 16K?

At UBC, if you get 'full' funding, which about 1/3 of the MA class do (I count full funding as at least a two semester TAship). It ranges from $10.5k to around $18.5, with most towards the lower end of the scale. You have to take fees off this though (-$5k). IMO even the top end of the scale is not sufficient to live well on for a year but you could survive. A place to live will consume about $8k over the year.
