How PhDs are usually funded

Typical pattern
Mixed funding

Both paid research positions and scholarships are common; the route depends on the university and the lab.

This is the general pattern for the country, not a guarantee. Funding varies by university, field and nationality — always confirm on the official page.

Resources to fund graduate studies include federal, provincial and university fellowships, grants and scholarships; teaching and research assistantships (professors may use part of a research grant to employ graduate students as research assistants); and needs-based financial aid.
