Faculty in-course scholarships and awards are made by the individual Faculty Scholarships Committees, and students should consult the appropriate section of this Calendar for regulations and information concerning these awards.
Most undergraduate scholarships and awards are granted on the basis of the combined GPA for the Fall and Winter terms and applications are not required unless specifically indicated in the terms of an award.
To be considered for in-course awards and/or the renewal of entrance scholarships, students must complete at least 27
graded credits in the regular academic year exclusive of courses completed under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option. Summer courses are not considered. Courses taken at other Quebec universities through the Inter-University Transfer Agreement, to a maximum of six credits, may be counted towards the requirements for scholarship renewal or for consideration for other academic awards. Eligibility will be based on all courses taken during the regular academic year and on both the McGill GPA as well as the global GPA which will include the IUT credits.
To receive full payment of an award, students must be registered as full-time (i.e., at least 12 credits per term) in a McGill undergraduate degree program for the entire academic year; otherwise, the award, or part of it, may be cancelled. For instance, a student who is registered full-time for only one-half of the academic year will receive only one-half of the value of the award.
A maximum of the top 10% of the students in each faculty based on the combined GPA for the Fall and Winter terms are named to the
Dean's Honour List. This designation, while carrying no monetary reward, is an official University recognition of the student's achievements and is recorded on the transcript. Individual faculties should be consulted regarding any additional criteria which may be used.
All awards, with the exception of prizes, are credited to the tuition fee accounts of students for the following academic year.
