Awards range in value from $3,000 to $10,000. There are two types of entrance scholarships: the One-year, whereby eligibility is based solely on academic achievement, and the renewable
Major, based on outstanding academic achievement as well as leadership qualities in school and community activities. Simply by applying to McGill, all eligible candidates are automatically considered for the One-year scholarship. No separate application is required. Candidates will be able to apply for a Major scholarship on the web after their application for admission has been submitted and they have received an email acknowledgment of their admissions application. Financial need is not considered in the granting of scholarships; they are entirely merit-based. All renewable awards are tenable provided the criteria for renewal are met. Because renewal criteria vary across faculties, recipients should consult
www.mcgill.ca/studentaid/scholarships-aid/regulations-responsibilities to acquaint themselves with the details. Finalists for the scholarships valued over $5,000 may be interviewed.
