- Information about 2026 applications to psychology and neuroscience. Students who want to do research in Psychology and Neuroscience labs are NOT required to identify a supervisor before applying anymore. They will be matched with a supervisor by the department if they are short-listed for an award. (This new rule is for applicants to our department only. If students want to do research in another department other than Psychology and Neuroscience, they will be required to identify a potential supervisor before applying).

Bursaries
Bursaries are typically smaller amounts of money (from $200 - $600), intended to supplement other funding sources. The University's bursary program is intended as possible supplementary assistance to help qualifying students with a portion of their educational costs.
