Payable tuition fees and other student fees change frequently and the most current information is available from the UBC Faculty of Graduate Studies. This site explains the new UBC "PhD Tuition Fee Award" program, effective September 2003, which fully covers tuition fees for all PhD students in the first four years of their doctoral program.

Graduate students accepted for training in the Terry Fox Laboratory receive an annual stipend which could come from a combination of independent Studentship awards (eg. from UBC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research - CIHR or the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council - NSERC), the supervisor's research grant, or partial teaching assistantships.

MSc students are normally supported for up to two years, and PhD students for up to 5 years, assuming satisfactory progress in the training program. Individuals with MDs who are pursuing PhD degrees are generally supported at a higher level, depending on their previous extent of training.
