The Vector Institute's Graduate Student Program inverts the standard grad school application for 2026: instead of cold-emailing professors and paying hundreds in fees, applicants submit one free application with their background and research interests, pick up to five Vector Faculty or Affiliates, and interested supervisors reach out directly before any formal university application.
