Undergraduate:

There is a range of financial aid programs to help cover your tuition and living costs throughout your degree.

Entrance scholarships: McGill's Scholarships and Student Aid offers merit-based entrance scholarships to first-time university students entering a full-time undergraduate degree program.

Entrance bursaries: Our need-based Entrance Bursary Program supports students from low-to-modest income families who may not otherwise be able to accept their offer of admission.

McGill financial aid: Our program of in-course bursaries and loans is designed to help current full-time degree students facing financial challenges. The program supplements existing financial resources (including government aid and/or Indigenous Band Support Funding, part-time work, parental support, and/or other sources of funding).

Graduate:

Graduate student funding is managed by the University's academic departments. Scholarships and Student Aid can provide a modest financial supplement.

For more information, please visit the  Graduate Funding website.

For graduate students with demonstrated financial need, the Work Study program is an option to help supplement costs of attendance through part-time employment on campus.
