MASTER’S AND PHD SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS IN MCGILL UNIVERSITY CANADA 2011

Scholarship for Master’s and PhD Students in Biology at McGill University Canada 2011

The Department offers graduate training in many areas of biology with particular strengths in Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation, Evolution, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, Plant Biology and Bioinformatics. Graduate programs leading to the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees are offered.

The emphasis in both programs is on development of the intellectual and technical skills necessary for independent research. The main component of both degrees is a thesis embodying the results of original research. Scholarships are limited, and are awarded on the basis of academic merit. Such awards benefit both students and supervisors (who can thereby allocate more money for research expenses), therefore prospective and current McGill graduate students are expected to apply for all scholarships for which they are eligible. Prospective students should note that separate applications must be made for graduate school admission and scholarship support. Possession of a scholarship increases the probability of acceptance. Many scholarships require Canadian citizenship or Landed Immigrant status. Applications received by February 1st will be automatically considered for a number of McGill-administered fellowships.
