  • FRQNT Graduate Scholarships
  • Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships
 

McGill University, Canada's top ranked university, is located in the centre of downtown Montréal, a vibrant, artistic, dual-language city recently named the world's best city for students. McGill's primary language is English, and one can navigate the city in French or English. The cost of living is low, and graduate students live comfortably within walking distance of campus and downtown. There also exists a large network of bicycle paths, a bike-sharing program, and a viable mass transit system including subways, trains, buses, and "drive-and-leave" electric cars (operated with the same proxy card). Even with kids, we have not needed a car since we arrived, which is awesome. McGill, the Physics Department, and the Province of Québec work together to provide family-friendly policies for graduate students and postdocs.
