Our need-based Entrance Bursary Program helps students from low to modest income families who may not otherwise be able to accept their offer of admission. In our last admission cycle, our Student Aid Office offered entrance bursaries (non-repayable awards) valued at CAN $5 million to 740 newly accepted undergraduate students with financial need. Of these entrance bursaries, Quebec/Canadian students received 444 offers averaging CAN $4,000 each, and US/International students received 296 offers averaging CAN $11,060 each.
McGill University is committed to supporting the academic pursuits of qualified undergraduate students who require financial assistance.
