How the programme works

What successful applicants receive

Full tuition and fees for the normal duration of the eligible programme, a C$2,300 monthly living stipend during academic terms, summer funding options where the programme is not in session, and a one-time relocation grant for moving to Montreal. For an applicant comparing postgraduate funding, the practical point is to separate the published package from costs that remain outside it. The programme should therefore be described as fully funded and not as providing benefits the organisation has not listed. Where rates can change by academic year, the final award-year amount should be taken from the official offer.

Eligibility

For the currently open September 2026 deadline, eligible applicants are Canadian citizens, permanent residents and applicants studying at or graduating from universities in Canada or the United States under the programme's current application timetable. Applicants must meet the scholarship's degree-timing criteria and later meet admission requirements for their chosen McGill programme. The currently open deadline is not the same as the earlier international deadline, so applicants must use the eligibility group tied to the September window. Host location and applicant eligibility are separate issues: the programme is hosted in Canada, while eligibility is determined by the rules above. Applicants should not assume a programme is global simply because it accepts some international candidates.

What the award supports

For postgraduate applicants, the important point is how the funding connects to the work supported. This is not unrestricted cash: it is attached to eligible master's and professional degree programmes at mcgill university and to the organisation's stated purpose. In this case, the published package is Full tuition and fees for the normal duration of the eligible programme, a C$2,300 monthly living stipend during academic terms, summer funding options where the programme is not in session, and a one-time relocation grant for moving to Montreal. Applicants can therefore judge whether the support matches the costs and activities involved.

Documents to prepare

The scholarship application includes personal and academic information, activities, essays or short responses and references. The McGill programme application has its own transcripts and programme-specific requirements. These requirements should be prepared using the formats and limits in the current instructions. Where university admission is separate from funding, completing one does not complete the other. A reference, supervisor approval, nomination or endorsement is required only where the programme states it.
