The Task Force on Graduate Funding has collected data on the resources graduate students receive. This information will be part of the information the Task Force considers in its work to develop recommendations to support graduate students across McMaster’s six Faculties.

The data is shared here to help inform broader discussions with the McMaster campus community.

The information was collected by Institutional Research and Analysis (IRA). The data reflect payments made to full-time graduate students through McMaster’s payroll from September 2021 to August 2022.

The data are complex and detailed. They have been aggregated to provide a view on the funding provided to students in PhD and research-based thesis programs and include a breakdown of the sources of funding to graduate students in each Faculty.

As the data are examined, it is important to note that students may also receive additional fellowships, scholarships, and bursaries that are not administered by McMaster, and therefore are not reflected in these figures.
