Funding

If your admission offer indicates you are receiving funding from the Faculty of Music, you will receive a Funding Letter by mid-September that summarizes the sources of your funding, the amount, and U of T’s funding policies. 

Scholarships are paid via ACORN, and TA wages are paid via the HR system. As such, you will need to set-up your direct deposit information in both places. You will receive an email in August with instructions to set-up your direct deposit information for TA wages. 

Most MA, PhD, and DMA funding packages are inclusive of TA work. The scholarship portion of your funding is typically paid in two equal installments – September and January. Funding will be put towards tuition first, and the remainder will be refunded to your banking information as listed in ACORN. To ensure timely payments, please ensure that your direct deposit information is set up on ACORN. The TA wages portion of your funding will be paid monthly on the 28th day of the month.
