ELIGIBILITY:

To be considered for the Entrance Bursary Program, applicants must:

Enrol in a full-time degree program at the University

Demonstrate financial need, including the intention to apply for government student aid and/or Indigenous Band Support Funding

Financial need is considered for all McGill students, including international students. While government aid programs are generally limited to Canadian and U.S. citizens, international students who are not eligible for government aid may still apply for an Entrance Bursary based on demonstrated financial need.

Students registered with the Student Accessibility & Achievement may be eligible for financial aid while pursuing a reduced course load.

Upon notification of acceptance to the University (your official letter of acceptance can be found in your McGill Applicant Portal), the application becomes available on Minerva.

There are two steps to complete:

In Minerva:

Select the Financial Aid/Awards tab > Financial Aid Menu > Apply for a McGill Entrance Bursary > Apply to Entrance Bursary Program > Complete then submit your application.

Submit a CSS Financial Aid Profile if you are a:

Canadian (citizen or permanent resident) students living outside of Canada

U.S. students

International (non-US) students

If you are a student with a disability who requires help completing online applications, please do not hesitate to contact us.
