Financial support

Several financial support opportunities are available to students of the department, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This financial support can take the form of scholarships or funding opportunities for graduate students. Below is a list of these scholarships and funding opportunities.

There are also sources of income for students in the department. For example, teaching assistantships are available. Teaching assignments are also available, usually for doctoral students. Internships in companies are also available and provide income, additionally to work experience. An employment assistance service is available to students, see https://vieetudiante.umontreal.ca/a-propos/service/conseils-carriere (in French). For undergraduate students, it is also possible to complete a research internship, which provides both income and an introduction to research in a field of interest in Mathematics, Statistics, or Actuarial Science. Emails are sent to our students' institutional addresses to provide information regarding teaching assistantships, teaching opportunities, internships in companies, and research internships.

To properly plan their university studies, students must be informed about tuition fees. The tuition calculator (in French) is a good way to be informed. Note that there is a tuition reduction program for international students and cooperative agreements allowing exemptions from additional tuition fees charged to international students (due to their status and country of origin); for more information, see https://registraire.umontreal.ca/droits-de-scolarite/bourse-exemption/ and https://registraire.umontreal.ca/droits-de-scolarite/exemptions-internationaux/ (in French).

For any questions regarding financial support, you can contact: TGDE Undergraduate or TGDE Graduate.
