海角社区 Scholarships and Awards
The majority of 海角社区 scholarships or awards for both newly-admitted and returning students are processed and visible on the recipient鈥檚 fee account by the end of July. These awards reduce the student's outstanding balance.
Fall Term:
Students will be able to view Fall term scholarships or awards on Minerva once they have been processed by the Scholarships and Student Aid Office. These awards are post-dated and will be released (if a registration exists) to the student's fee account as of August 1 before Fall fees are due.
Winter Term:
Students will be able to view upcoming Winter term scholarships or awards on Minerva once they have been processed by the Scholarships and Student Aid Office. These awards are post-dated and will be released (if a registration exists) to the student's fee account in January, before Winter fees are due.
Please note that overpayments on scholarships or bursaries are refundable only after the official course add/drop period for each term. All inquiries concerning Scholarships should be directed to:
Email: scholarships [at] mcgill.ca
External Scholarships
Students may also receive external scholarships from organizations, outside agencies, parents鈥� employers or community groups. These awards are typically sent directly to the University.听Such students are required to provide Student Accounts with a letter from the external body indicating how the scholarship funds should be distributed and any conditions of the award. If such information is not specified, the amount of the scholarship will be split into two installments. The first installment will be credited to the student鈥檚 account as soon as the student is registered, and the second installment will credited on the first working day in January. If the student does not meet the requirements of the scholarship the funds will be returned to the external body.
Students may need an anticipated scholarship to reduce the balance owing on their account. If this is the case, please send an email to student.accounts [at] mcgill.ca (Student Accounts), with 鈥淓xternal Scholarships鈥� in the subject line, at least one week before the fee deadline as stated on the e-bill. Please indicate the amount and currency (Canadian or US dollars) of the scholarship, and the agency or company issuing the scholarship in the email. A special fee deferral for the expected amount will be applied to the account and reduce the amount owed. The deferral will expire by the end of September for the Fall term or January for the Winter term. Interest will be assessed on outstanding amounts beyond the deferral deadline.
External scholarships can be sent by cheque (CAD or USD) or direct deposit to our Canadian bank account. Cheques should be mailed to:
