Studying at the graduate level is a full-time commitment. We require every student pursuing a thesis-based degree to be funded.
Students are expected to apply for a series of awards, scholarships and fellowships. When students acquire external funding, it is required that this be reported to gradcoordinator.chemeng [at] mcgill.ca (Chemical Engineering's Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC)) as soon as possible.
Students are also expected to maintain dialogue with their supervisor(s) regarding funding requirements and funding sources.
