14. What about stipends?
All Physiology graduate students receive financial support. Any faculty member who agrees to supervise a graduate student who does not have their own funding, i.e. a fellowship, is financially responsible for that student. However, all students are encouraged to secure their own funding through a variety of competitions administered by the University, private, provincial or federal agencies. Information on fellowships and awards competitions at 成人VR视频 can be found at www.mcgill.ca/gps/fellowships.

Once admitted, students may acquire additional funding through teaching assistantships and invigilation or apply for limited employment through Student Services work study programs at聽 www.mcgill.ca/studentservices.

International students from countries that have signed a tuition fee agreement with Quebec may be exempted from the higher tuition fees and should check with their Ministry of Education or consult: www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/fees/tuition/exemptions.
