Domestic students tend to have an advantage over out of province students and international students for getting scholarships. However, there is set to be a significant increase in the amount of both merit-based and need-based scholarships for all pools of students due to the completion of the “Campaign McGill” fundraising program this past year which generated over $1billion. Of this amount over 60% of the money is going towards scholarships.

Now is probably the best time in several years to snag scholarship money at McGill.

As to the difficulty of getting an “A” it all depends on what courses you are taking: courses in the physical and life sciences and engineering tend to have lower averages and are hence “harder” to get an A in. Some of the Arts courses however have higher averages and are “easier” to get A grades in.

If getting getting A grades with little effort is very important to you I am sure you can find enough underwater basket weaving courses/majors at any university, including McGill.
