The Scholarships and Student Aid Office administers both McGill’s financial aid program and all government student aid programs. McGill’s need-based financial aid program includes short term loans, limited bursary assistance, and a Work Study program. In addition, the Scholarships and Student Aid Office offers advice on debt management and budget counselling.
