McGill University Major Entrance Scholarships 2027 (Partial Funding)

McGill University awards merit-based Major Entrance Scholarships to high-achieving first-time undergraduates. These renewable awards recognise both academic excellence and leadership in school or community activities.

Major Entrance Scholarships range from CAD 12,000 to CAD 40,000 over four years for most international students (CAD 3,000 to CAD 10,000 per year). The highest tier of CAD 12,000 per year is reserved for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. One-year non-renewable awards of CAD 3,000 are also available and do not require a separate application. All awards are partial; they do not cover full tuition or living costs.

Submit your undergraduate admission application first through the McGill Applicant Portal. Then complete the separate Major Entrance Scholarship application in the same portal. You will need a list of activities for the last three years, an essay, and two reference letters. A signed school statement is helpful if available. Do not wait for an admission decision; apply early.
