As an international student aiming for McGill University, I'm looking to understand what scholarship opportunities are available. Is there an application process or criteria that are specific to international applicants?
McGill University offers several scholarships for international students, including but not limited to the Major Entrance Scholarships and the One-year Entrance Scholarships, and they don't require a separate application. These scholarships range from $3,000–$12,000 per year and are renewable for the duration of your studies, provided you maintain a good academic standing.
For first-time university students, the Entrance Bursaries for International Students program is available. These bursaries are need-based awards and do require a separate application.
It's worth noting that some of McGill’s scholarships are based on your overall academic performance but most of them consider the context of your achievements such as leadership skills, creativity, intellectual curiosity, and perseverance.
Remember, to be considered for a scholarship as an international student at McGill, you must be admissible to the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree program and not be concurrently in receipt of any other major scholarship.
Also keep in mind that deadlines and processes can change from year to year so it's always a good idea to check McGill’s official website for the most up-to-date information.
