All M.A.C. students receive some financial support. Funding is available through Queen's Graduate Awards and other internal awards. Some students may qualify for teaching assistantships in their second year. We also encourage you to apply for external funding.
Internal sources of funding available to students with first class academic standing include:
R.S. McLaughlin/Bracken Fellowships, Senator Frank Carrel Fellowships | Value: $10,000聽
These fellowships are awarded by competition within the University. Eligible applicants are entered by ranked list, based on academic merit. McLaughlin awards are restricted to Ontario residents and Carrel Fellowships are available to Quebec residents only. For further information please consult the Student Awards office.
成人大片 Graduate Award (QGA) | Value variable聽
These discretionary funds are awarded to most M.A.C. students and especially to those students who have received little or no funding from other sources.
Graduate Entrance Tuition Award (GETA) | Value variable聽
The value of this bursary is approximately equivalent to first year domestic tuition. One incoming MAC domestic student per year can receive this award, based on academic merit. It is non-renewable.

The value of these awards is the difference between the Canadian (domestic) student fees and the International student fees. Students receiving International Tuition Awards during the first year of their graduate program will automatically receive the same award for their second year of Master's studies.

A number of Teaching Assistantships (TAs) are available through the M.A.C. Program.

These include the Isabel Bader Bursary in Textile Conservation, the Vorres Hellenic Fellowship (available through the Department of Classics), the Bamji Art Conservation Award and the Art Conservation Travel Fund.
