The Graduate Writing Program
 

Financial Aid

Because of the MFA program's mandatory teaching component, our five first-year graduate students will each receive a Graduate Teaching Assistantship. This may be supplemented by a BC Arts Council Senior Scholarship, for which students are eligible if they have been residents of BC for a year. Other provincial arts councils have similar scholarships available for their residents who study outside of their borders.

Five Graduate Fellowships for students will be awarded to masters students with second-year standing. There are a number of graduate scholarships available specifically for Writing students, along with others in the university. They are also eligible to apply for SSHRC funding through the Canadian Graduate Scholarships Program and for Research Assistantships paid for by grants received by Faculty members for their projects.
