News from the Graduate Program Director - New funding opportunities

Dear students and supervisors,

I hope you all had an enjoyable summer. I am writing to inform you of two important new benefits offered by our graduate program:

First, I am pleased to announce that, effective immediately, a differential fee waiver will be offered to international students registered in the Graduate Program in Psychiatry. Specifically, the differential between international and Quebec fees will be covered by the Program for M.Sc. students during their first year and Ph.D. students during their first two years.  

Second, I am also pleased to announce that, on an annual basis as of this fall, our Program will grant several Graduate Excellence Fellowships in Mental Health Research. These one-time competitive awards, valued at $10,000 each, are meant to recognize the excellence of our graduate students, and to help offset the costs of student stipends provided by our supervisors. The first competition will be launched shortly, and all details will be released by mid-September.

Best wishes,

Naguib Mechawar, Ph.D.
