Hello, I hope somebody can help me with this. I am an American High school student (home schooled and Dual Enrolled (meaning I take college courses currently)) and I want to attend McGill University. I take the ACT in early June and I’ve been preparing for it but I’m not stressing out about it. I have been looking for a few months for scholarships that I can use to finance my undergraduate career at McGill. I have been hard-pressed to find anything. I have looked at the McGill website and read about their school sponsored scholarships, however that requires me to wait until I (hopefully) am accepted to find out if I have enough money to go. I am hoping somebody can help me find some more scholarships that I can apply for before I apply to McGill. (If they even exist, this is my first time dealing with scholarships so I have no Idea how they work, and when they are awarded).
As far as I know, Americans automatically get $3000 international student scholarship. Get a 4.0 GPA over a year at McGill and that’s another $3000.
In response to @juneboy94 , Americans don’t “automatically” get a $3000 scholarship. The Entrance Scholarship (which doesnt require an application) has an SAT minimum of 700 in each category and an ACT minimum of 33 and is valid for only 1 year.
The Major Entrance Scholarship has similar SAT/ACT requirements but also requires an application. It is renewable for your entire duration of studies at McGill and can vary in value from $3000 to $10000.
Most students are also eligible to apply for McGill Entrance bursaries, in-course aid and US-Direct Loans.
