<p>I'm an American student-- can anyone clarify how McGill's financial aid works? I've been looking around their site but I can't find anything clear about when to / how to apply.</p>
<p>I know they take CSS and maybe FAFSA too in terms of need-based aid, and in terms of merit-based aid they automatically consider all applicants for “minor” scholarships of up to $3000 but the deadline for the separate application for “major” scholarships was january 22</p>
<p>McGill provides very little need based aid to international students. </p>
<p>And in-province students apply for need-based aid through the Ministry rather than the university.</p>
