Expanded financial support for new and returning Indigenous students at McGill

Published: 15 October 2018

McGill University’s Indigenous students can now rely on dedicated financial support, thanks to a partnership with Indspire, an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of Indigenous peoples.

Two types of financial assistance will be made available via Indspire:

  1. McGill’s Indigenous First-Year Award, a one-time, $2,000 award given to undergraduate Indigenous students entering their first year.
  2. McGill’s Indigenous Bursary, an award ranging from $1,000- $10,000 based on financial need, available to Indigenous students pursuing a degree program.

Additionally, the University will manage in-house the Provost’s Indigenous Achievement Award, a $5000 renewable Admissions award given to Indigenous students with exceptional high school or CEGEP grades.

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. Visit the Office of Indigenous Initiatives website to learn more about the Land and Peoples of Tiohtià:ke/ Montreal.
