On June 27th, 2016, McGill signed an agreement with the National Council for Science and Technology (CONAHCyT) to co-sponsor Mexican students enrolled in a Master's Thesis Program or PhD at McGill. The agreement aims at attracting top Mexican students to pursue graduate studies at Canada’s leading research-intensive university.
Value & Duration
CONAHCyT will provide annual funding for the following:
- McGill tuition at the Quebec Resident rate
