New to Schulich: PhD Program

Program fees are set for each session and term by the York University Board of Governors, in accordance with the current Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities guidelines. For tuition and fees information, visit: sfs.yorku.ca/fees/courses

Your Student Account Online Statement reflects all charges assessed to your account.

Funds from scholarships, awards and bursaries are applied directly to tuition (if applicable) and other student fees owing. After tuition (if applicable) and other charges to a student’s account have been cleared, award recipients who have a credit remaining on their account will be issued a refund. Refunds are routinely processed in November, March, and July.

For fee payment methods, visit  Student Financial Services – Student Account Payment.

The Schulich School of Business provides financial support to all eligible, full-time doctoral students from years one through five. Please refer to your admission offer letter for details.

At your orientation, you’ll learn more about how funding works as well as opportunities for additional scholarships, grant funding, and teaching assignments. Please visit our Schulich PhD Financial Assistance page for details.

A $2,000 bonus will be awarded to you if you successfully defend your dissertation proposal by May 15th in Year 3 (by the end of the eighth term).

Graduate students are encouraged to sign up for Direct Deposit via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This service allows York University to deposit refunds and student account payments directly into your Canadian bank account, thereby saving paper, distribution time and a trip to the bank.

Note that the process for setting up direct deposit for your Student Account payments is separate from your payroll deposits and expense reimbursements.

Applying for OSAP will not impact your funding package, however, the fellowship funding you receive from Schulich School of Business, York University must be reported to the Ministry on your OSAP application and may have an impact on your OSAP assessment. The amount reported should reflect the actual amount to be received during the application period (i.e. students receiving a $10,000 funding package who are applying for OSAP for the Fall/Winter terms, should report $6,666 which represents the $3,333 per term breakdown).

Unless otherwise advised, you must report all funding to OSAP. This includes all funding directly related to your funding package, all merit based scholarships (based on academic performance only) and all employment income received during the study period.

York University will report on your behalf all financial needs-based funding (outside of the funding package), the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology.
