Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for the Fully Funded Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at McGill

[@tejiriomame]

Thank you Sir. This is very informative.

[@nsoforanasthasia]

From my understanding, we are to send the transcript ourselves not the school. But if admitted will mcgill request it from my school or should my school send it now or me?

[@mofiyinfoluwa1625]

You are to send PDF copy of both your transcript and resume (not school sending it at this stage of application). Note; Don't forget to write the subject of the email as instructed by McGill. 👍👍

[@RuhamaMhret]

Thank you, could you please share the link to the application?

[@UzomafaithC]

Good morning sir i have a question on the email subject how would it be writeen should it be TRANSCRIPT ,CHIAMAKA ,ANEKE MASTERCARD FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP AT MCGILL, RESUME

​@@tron6694 answer again, the one in the instructions is not enough? If you cannot comprehend an instruction in an application, how do you write the personal statements required for the application?

Pls Sir, will our reccomders be contacted or they will need to send the letter to their email cause the deadline is tomorrow

Dr, Since there is another section for reference. Does that mean that references should not be included in the Resume?

Why I'm trying to send my transcript and resume then i receive email which say my message is blocked

[@EdjekpewhuChinaza]

Please sir after sending my email and documents to the email address it keeps saying that the email is blocked that I can’t send any email please how do I go about it

[@Tobbydavex]

Hello sir Please there is quite a misunderstanding in the essay word count vs the character count. It was stated that a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 350 words should be written. However, the box character count of 2000 is confusing. In my case, after writing exactly 250 words, the 2000-character answer box rejected it. After reducing it to fit the 2000 characters, it was less than 250 words which is still against the initial instruction. I might not be the only applicant facing this challenge, and I think a clarification would help us. Thank you.

[@scholarshipscafe]

I strongly advise you write within what is allowed. Best wishes

[@Marianmuchoma]

True ,that's the issue I am facing as well. I tried the word count which they gave but it was telling me I have not attended to some questions.

[@mofiyinfoluwa1625]
