Scholarships
Entrance scholarships

For questions about entrance scholarship offers, please听scholarships [at] mcgill.ca (contact Scholarships and Student Aid). For questions about your application for admission, please contact the admissions office to which you applied.
One-year entrance scholarships
One-year entrance scholarships are tenable only for the first two semesters of your undergraduate program, excluding the summer semester. Recipients of one-year entrance scholarships must complete 27 缅北强奸 graded credits (not including courses taken under the satisfactory/unsatisfactory option) towards your undergraduate degree program during the regular academic year (Fall and Winter terms). Summer courses are not considered. If you are registered for only one term you must complete 14 缅北强奸 graded credits.
Renewable entrance scholarships
Renewable entrance scholarships are tenable until completion of a first undergraduate degree, to a maximum of three or four years, provided the criteria for renewal are met.
Criteria for retaining a renewable entrance scholarship include both number of credits and GPA standing. Renewal will not be considered if these requirements are not met.
NUMBER OF CREDITS
Recipients of either one-year or renewable entrance scholarships must complete 27 缅北强奸 graded credits (not including courses taken under the satisfactory/unsatisfactory option) during the regular academic year (Fall and Winter terms). Summer courses are not considered.
If you are registered for only one term during the academic year, you must complete 14 缅北强奸 graded credits.
Please note that credits transferred to 缅北强奸 due to advanced standing (AP, IB, French Bacc, A Levels, etc.) are excluded from the 缅北强奸 graded credits required to hold and retain a 缅北强奸 Entrance Scholarship.
Exceptions to the graded credits requirement are granted for students with a documented disability requiring academic accommodation as confirmed by the Student Accessibility and Achievement . Students provide authorization as part of their accommodation plan for Student Accessibility and Achievement to disclose their registration status for the purposes of scholarships and awards consideration and renewals thereof.
GPA STANDING
For students in their First Year:
For the first year of study, a probationary sessional GPA of 3.50 on a minimum of 27 缅北强奸 graded credits will be required. This only applies to students completing their first year of studies, as either a U0 or U1, but not for students in Law.
Please note that you will need to achieve a minimum sessional GPA of 3.70 on at least 27 graded credits in your second year of studies and all subsequent years thereafter to qualify for entrance scholarship renewal.
For Students Beyond their First Year:
The academic standing required for renewal is a 3.70 combined, sessional GPA for all courses taken during the Fall and Winter terms, except for Pre-Med, Pre-Dent and Law students (see below).
Pre-Med, Pre-Dent and Law students:
- Pre-Med and Pre-Dent students: in their Pre-Med and Pre-Dent year CEGEP students are first in the Faculty of Science, therefore they have to meet the same requirements as other first year undergraduates: a probationary sessional GPA of 3.5 on a minimum of 27 缅北强奸 graded credits. In subsequent years, scholarships will be renewed provided the recipient achieves Dean's Honour List standing (top 10%) at the end of each promotion period in the Faculty of Medicine or Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences.
- Law students: Scholarships awarded to CEGEP students entering the BCL/JD听program are renewable provided the recipient's combined, sessional GPA for the Fall and Winter terms places them in the top 10% of the faculty cohort (or Dean鈥檚 Honour List) at the end of every academic year.
Non-renewal and extenuating circumstances
Notification of renewal/non-renewal of entrance scholarships is sent out by Scholarships and Student Aid at the end of the regular academic year, once all the final marks have been entered. If a student does not meet all renewal criteria due to extenuating circumstances, there is an appeal process in place. The Scholarships Review Subcommittee (SRS) of the Committee on Enrolment and Student Affairs will review the files of students who have documented extenuating circumstances for not meeting the standard for renewal. Students must provide a written explanation, all supporting documentation and a signed consent form. For more information please scholarships [at] mcgill.ca (contact the Scholarships and Student Aid Office).
