Has anyone else found that there are not a lot of scholarships offered for those entering graduate studies? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places...

What sort of graduate studies are you talking about?

For any sort of research oriented Master's/PHD:
Science & Engineering: NSERC
Health Research: CIHR
Social Sciences & Humanities: SSHRC

All of which at least administer Canada Graduate Scholarships, and NSERC gives out lots of awards as well.

The applications for NSERC are due in the fall. I don't know about the others

For any graduate studies in Ontario: OGS

In research oriented master's programs, they may also offer "soft funding" which means the university guarantees you Teaching/Research assistant jobs and the like. Depending on the university those can pay quite well.


Note that there is a difference between professional and graduate programs. Graduate program refers to a Master's or PhD program; professional is something like Medicine, Law, Teaching, etc.
