STUDENTS

Despite the name, McGill’s Alumni Relations Office isn’t just for graduates – far from it! We offer services and programs to support you as you find your place in the McGill community and build a foundation for future success.

Start off on the right foot

Every summer, we host Send-Offs in cities around the world. Current students and young alumni from the region meet with incoming students and their families before they head to Montreal. Ask your questions and get an insider’s take on campus life. Back this year: online Send-Offs!

We’re with you for the duration

Make the most out of your time at McGill. Whether you’re looking for crowdfunding support for a special project, a scholarship or bursary, or just something to do on a weeknight, we’ve got you covered.

The McGill Alumni Association presents the Student Sponsorship Program with application deadlines throughout each academic year! For Winter 2024, the application deadline is February 4, 2024. The program helps to provide financial support to student groups for events (now virtual), special projects, and initiatives that do not receive University funding and that promote outside-the-classroom student experiences. For more information, please contact studentprograms.dev@mcgill.ca.

*Please ensure that any events submitted are either virtual or adhere to McGill’s on campus events directives and most recent COVID 19 measures.
