<p>One small clarification on McGill: I believe the $10 000 music merit that my S got at McGill is open to students from any country including the US, but it was only open to orchestral strings. So for most instruments at Schulich, the maximum music merit award for students from any country (including Canada) is generally $5 000, I believe. I don’t know about non-music merit for internationals like Americans.</p>
<p>Also Quebec students get an even lower tuition: somewhere between $2 000 and $3 000 per year (no zeros missing there). I know of students that work hard on establishing that Quebec residency, so if you have any connections with Quebec, it is worth looking into.</p>
