The School of Graduate Studies is pleased to provide funding for bursaries, developed in collaboration with Massey College, which is a graduate students’ residential community affiliated with, but independent from, the University of Toronto. Designed for Black Canadian, Indigenous, and International graduate students, these bursaries create opportunities that can provide academic and personal enrichment for high-achieving candidates who would not be able to afford the Resident or Non-Resident fees associated with the Junior Fellowship.
In joining Massey College, recipients will be welcomed into a community of scholars and professionals from across Canada and around the world.
Please review Massey College’s Junior Fellows webpage for more information.
Eligibility
Applicants must go through the regular selection process for Junior Fellowship at Massey College.
All those selected, with a demonstrated financial need or related challenges, will be considered for full coverage of the fees for Resident and Non-Resident Junior Fellows at Massey College for one year. A breakdown of these fees can be found on Massey College’s Junior Fellows Applications webpage.
