• submit your application for admission to McGill University by December 1, 2022.
• Submit a completed recorded audition by December 15, 2022 if you are applying to a Performance program.

Funding amount: $17,500.

Consult McGill's Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website for eligibility requirements and application details.

Requirements Specific to the Schulich School of Music

• Ensure that McGill University is indicated as one of the proposed host organizations with correct Faculty (Schulich School of Music) and Department/Division (either Performance or Music Research).
• Current McGill undergraduate performance students: If you have a December recital (on or before December 15th), you can submit a recording of that recital in support of your CGS application.

Important Information for your CGS Application:

Program of Study: one page

Bibliography: one page

Please do not let your program of study go over one page. Some students have continued their program of study on the 2^nd page (bibliography) and put in a shorter bibliography, but this is not acceptable. Students who go over the one page limit will see their application deemed ineligible.

Transcript Information

It is crucial to upload official transcripts (including transfer credits) and transcript legend/key to the Research Portal. This includes a McGill transcript for students that have just started their degree even though no grades are posted.
If you upload the wrong documents or if there is a missing or unofficial transcript, your file will be automatically disqualified. An official transcript is one that comes directly from the institution by mail (not printed from your computer or from your student file). An e-transcript is an official transcript.
