<p>Hi! I saw on McGill's website that the overall expenses for McGill range from 30-46 thousand dollars. Comparing to some US private schools, that's pretty cheap. But does McGill give substantial financial aid to US students? I'm thinking of applying but I need financial aid, preferably enough to get the cost into the lower-mid 20k.</p>
<p>Nonrenewable Entrance Scholarships of $3000 and major renewable scholarships of up to $10,000/year are available to American students but you would need to be in the top tier of accepted students, especially for the major scholarships. They are entirely merit based. </p>
<p>A VERY limited number of need based grants are available to Americans but are usually limited to upperclass students who are nearing graduation and have financial difficulties.</p>
