Funding / Stipend opportunities!

Students admitted to the joint Ph.D. program will be eligible for tuition fee waivers at both Universities. A number of stipends are available for students entering the Department of Human Genetics at McGill University. If the student does not obtain one of these, the basic stipend must be provided supervisor (at McGill University) or from another source. The program will provide McGill-based students with additional financial support for living expenses, housing and travel for periods of stay in Kyoto.
