Study in Canada! Great news! The McGill University Scholarship Program is now open. In this article, we’ll explain everything about the McGill University Scholarship, including its benefits and the step-by-step application process.
The McGill University Scholarships for 2025-2026 are fully funded scholarships for international students. These scholarships are available for undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. programs. The scholarship provides up to $8,500 for undergraduate students, along with a modest amount of bursaries for master’s and Ph.D. students.
The goal of the program is to make McGill University more accessible to students who face financial challenges by supplementing other funding sources such as government aid, Indigenous Band Support Funding, part-time work, parental support, and other financial resources.
McGill University offers two types of scholarships: a merit-based Entrance Scholarship Program and a need-based Entrance Bursary Program for all newly accepted, first-year, first-degree undergraduate students.
Additionally, the Scholarships & Student Aid Office manages an In-Course Financial Aid Program, which provides modest loans and/or bursaries to currently enrolled graduate students who need extra financial help.
McGill is committed to supporting the academic goals of undergraduate students who need financial assistance. The Entrance Bursary Program provides bursaries to students from low to modest-income families who show financial need. Eligible applicants include newly accepted, first-year, first-degree undergraduates, as well as newly accepted, first-year undergraduates entering professional programs such as Medicine and Law.
