September 2026 to April 2027
New College offers a thriving and intellectually stimulating environment for doctoral students. University of Toronto doctoral students who are in the writing stage of their dissertation are encouraged to apply to a New College program relevant to their area of research.
Senior Doctoral Fellowships, valued at $2,500 each, are for one full academic year (September 1 to April 30) in a specific academic program/area of study as specified by each of the programs. Senior Doctoral Fellows will be expected to attend a welcoming event in September, to engage with students and the larger intellectual community at New College, and give a public lecture or workshop related to their research. Fellows will be expected to be able to attend events in person.
New College will provide access to the special library collections at the College. Senior Doctoral Fellows will be eligible for New College travel funds and can submit applications for other funding initiatives in collaboration with their host Program Director.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the New College Senior Doctoral Fellowship application. Fellows must be registered as University of Toronto graduate students during the fellowship year and available to participate in College life throughout the award period.
Deadline to submit applications: May 15
