Details: ROTMAN PHD IN MANAGEMENT VERIFIED FIVE-YEAR FUNDING FOR ELIGIBLE ADMITTED AND ENROLLED FULL-TIME STUDENTS, INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATES (NOT A GUARANTEE TO ALL APPLICANTS): YEAR 1 minimum CAD $41,200 financial support PLUS a separate scholarship covering the programme's full ACADEMIC TUITION FEES. YEARS 2, 3 and 4 minimum CAD $34,300 PER YEAR financial support PLUS a separate FULL ACADEMIC TUITION SCHOLARSHIP each year. YEAR 5 minimum CAD $41,200 PLUS academic tuition if student is ON THE ACADEMIC JOB MARKET; otherwise minimum CAD $34,300 PLUS academic tuition. YEARS 6 AND LATER: NO GUARANTEED FUNDING. Students may apply for RESEARCH ASSISTANT, TEACHING ASSISTANT and INSTRUCTOR POSITIONS to earn ADDITIONAL income; do not assume automatic employment or a higher guarantee. IMPORTANT UNFUNDED/SEPARATE FEES: ROTMAN's TUITION SCHOLARSHIP COVERS FULL ACADEMIC FEES, NOT NECESSARILY INCIDENTAL/SYSTEM ACCESS/ANCILLARY OR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT UHIP HEALTH INSURANCE. For 2026–27 the programme lists academic tuition CAD $6,330 covered by tuition scholarship, INCIDENTAL/ANCILLARY FEES CAD $2,292.39, and UHIP single-person coverage CAD $862.43 INTERNATIONAL ONLY (2026–27 figures, NOT guaranteed 2027–28 costs). 'COVERS HEALTH INSURANCE' is FALSE. Having access to mandatory UHIP does NOT make it a funded scholarship benefit. No separate guaranteed housing, relocation, visa costs or travel stipend. Application fee: official Rotman PhD front page quotes CAD $130 and announces PROGRAMME SPECIFIC waivers for applicants from selected 'underrepresented groups and conflict regions', but SGS FAQ says CAD $135 for September 2027 intake and general SGS fee waiver 'No'. Do NOT assume waiver or fee amount without verifying in 2027 application portal/with Rotman. 2026–27 fee amounts and award rates may change in 2027–28.

Intake: Fall 2027
Deadline: Deadline 8 January 2027 (time not confirmed).
Schedule: UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ROTMAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, PHD IN MANAGEMENT, FALL/SEPTEMBER 2027 ENTRY. 2027 APPLICATION STATUS: OPEN; ROTMAN HAS EXPLICITLY CONFIRMED APPLICATIONS FOR FALL 2027 ARE OPEN. APPLICATION, REQUIRED PAYMENT OR ROTMAN-APPROVED PROGRAMME FEE WAIVER, AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: FRIDAY JANUARY 8, 2027. ROTMAN DOES NOT STATE AN EXACT DEADLINE CLOCK TIME OR TIMEZONE ON ITS PHD ADMISSIONS PAGE; DO NOT INVENT 11:59 PM, EASTERN TIME OR OTHER CLOSING TIME. Submit ahead of the date. NO JANUARY START and NO ROLLING ADMISSIONS. Application review in early February; admission decisions typically MID-FEBRUARY TO MARCH. All application sections, statement of intent, CV, scans of transcripts for EVERY postsecondary institution, minimum two reference letters and any applicable standardized/English testing must be complete by JANUARY 8. FALL 2027 GRE (OR GMAT/GRE STANDARDIZED TEST) IS OPTIONAL THIS CYCLE BUT THE SCHOOL HIGHLY RECOMMENDS A STRONG GRE RESULT; official Rotman webpage contains stale 'Fall 2026' test guidance that must not override the CURRENT Fall 2027 statement in the deadlines paragraph. ROTMAN WEBSITE'S APPLICATION FORM GUIDE does not specify a fee-waiver deadline distinct from January 8. EXACT FEE CONFLICT: Rotman's current PhD landing page advertises 'application fee of $130 CDN' plus a special waiver for selected UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS AND CONFLICT REGIONS. University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies FAQ lists CAD $135 for SEPTEMBER 2027 applications, while CAD $130 was for SEPTEMBER 2026/JANUARY OR MAY 2027 starts. The fee CAN THEREFORE NOT BE GUARANTEED AS CAD $130 FOR THIS 2027 INTAKE. Confirm exact current amount and eligible Rotman-specific programme waiver with the SGS application portal/PhD programme BEFORE PAYMENT. Do not assert every Ghanaian is eligible, or that general SGS waivers apply.
