List of Canadian universities by endowment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of Canadian universities by endowment contains the universities in Canada with endowments worth C$100 million or greater at fiscal year-end 2005. Also included in this article is a list of Canadian universities with the highest endowments on a per-student basis.

Among Canadian universities, only the University of Toronto has an endowment large enough to rank within the list of U.S. colleges and universities by endowment. If it were ranked along with American universities, the University of Toronto would place 34th out of the 56 institutions on that list. No university in Canada has a per-student endowment comparable to those of the wealthiest American universities.

The following are the Canadian universities with the largest endowments, with all figures in Canadian dollars. Institutions that are members of the Group of Thirteen are denoted with ^†.
