Financial Support for Graduate Students: A number of assistantships, fellowships, scholarships, and other awards are made available to graduate students on a competitive basis. The primary source of funding for psychology graduate students is the humanities and social sciences assistantship offered through the Faculty of Arts. The Department of Psychology makes every effort to ensure that each student receives at least some financial support. However, because graduate assistantships are competitive and under the jurisdiction of the Faculty of Arts, the department cannot guarantee financial support. Nevertheless, all of our graduate students have received assistantships in the past five years. Assistantships are awarded competitively on the basis of academic merit in the spring of each year. The 2012-2013 graduate assistantship for the first year is $14,219.52 per annum, and for the second through fifth years it is $16,927.52 per annum. Students admitted to the M.A./Ph.D. program (either stream) receive five years of funding, consisting of M.A. level funding for the first year and Ph.D. level funding for the second, third, fourth and fifth years in the program. Students admitted to the Ph.D. program (either stream) following completion of a Master’s degree in psychology at another university receive four years of funding at the Ph.D. level. Students who are awarded an assistantship are expected to work as teaching assistants for approximately 8 hours per week in the Fall and Winter terms.
Graduate students with an outstanding academic record will be eligible for a number of scholarships and other awards offered by the university on a competitive basis. Information on graduate scholarships can be found in the Graduate Calendar (see Graduate Studies on the web (https://eservices.unb.ca/calendar/graduate/awards.cgi?tables=awards&title=Awards).
Eligible students are also strongly encouraged to apply for federal scholarships. A number of graduate students have received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council or the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (see www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca, www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca, and www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca for more information on federally funded awards). Students may also have an opportunity to work as part-time research assistants on externally-funded faculty research.
