At McGill University, we are committed to helping you finance your education. Our goal is to simplify the funding process and provide you with funding opportunities for the duration of your graduate studies.

There are two main types of merit-based fellowships available to you:

• External Awards - These are awarded by federal and provincial government agencies and some other private agencies who rely on McGill to recommend candidates. The application process is usually held one academic year in advance of receipt of the award.
• McGill Fellowships - This is funding that is awarded by GPS either through nomination by academic departments or sometimes by student application directly to GPS. They are usually awarded the winter or spring before the start of the award. These are listed in the Fellowships Calendar, and you should consult your academic department for more information.

Please consult McGill Student Aid if you are looking for scholarships based on financial need.
