Entrance bursaries: Our need-based Entrance Bursary Program supports students from low-to-modest income families who may not otherwise be able to accept their offer of admission.  


McGill financial aid: Our program of in-course bursaries and loans is designed to help current full-time degree students facing financial challenges. The program supplements existing financial resources (including government aid and/or Indigenous Band Support Funding, part-time work, parental support, and/or other sources of funding).
