The MEng is a professional graduate program. Students in professional graduate programs typically self-fund their educational expenses through a variety of programs including student loans, student lines of credit, personal savings and employment income.
However, there may sometimes be awards or scholarships that MEng students are eligible for. Here are some resources that MEng students can use to locate awards and scholarships:
- SGS’s list of major graduate awards (search for “professional master”)
- SGS’s list of external funding resources (available to graduate students)
- U of T’s Award Explorer (centralized, searchable database for all awards)
