Sources for Graduate Income Data

Enrolment per the MTCU official count file

Payments issued to students as recorded in:

ROSI (student awards, fellowships)

HRIS (employment income)

MedSIS (funding from affiliated hospitals)

and aggregated in a Cognos data cube and in custom FIS reports

Funded Cohort and TAs

5

Two-thirds of funded cohort students hold TA-ships

~60% of graduate student TAs are in the funded cohort

Who are the Funded Cohort?

7


Defining the Funding Commitment

Minimum annual funding commitment made to each student in the funded cohort

A combination of fellowships, stipends from research grants, external scholarships, bursaries, and up to 205 hours of TA work (less in some depts)

Amount varies by department, but is at least $15k plus tuition and fees:

$23,400 domestic

$33,100 international

8


Average Minimum Commitments

Funding in addition to tuition and fees Variability is largely the result of outside factors

Availability of grant funds (NSERC/CIHR vs SSHRC) Competition among peer institutions

How Do We Stack Up?

16

Domestic & International Doctoral Enrolment (including non-Funded Cohort)

16% higher than our Canadian peers (U15)

Comparability issues among institutions preclude the inclusion of health science disciplines.


Conclusion

Actual income for funded cohort students exceeds, often considerably, the university minimum

Very few in-program students have $15K net incomes Larger funding packages in many departments Major external awards Additional TA hours Casual work Bursary assistance
