I am not too sure about that, I think we can just contact the department directly as they may have more information about funding/scholarships. There's some information on the future graduate studies page, here's the link https://www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/funding Hey, thanks for replying me back:) I talked to Lillian, and she said once we accept the offer, they will automatically calculate our fundings and will let us know. She also recommended us to should contact our assigned professor in late May or early June. Let me know if there is any new updates from McGill! Cheers!

tjo Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I spoke with my academic mentor last night who teaches at York and they shared that there still is another rotation of application reviews in March so it seems that York offers won't be out till at least April Edited February 25, 2021 by tjo French_MSW, mswhopeful2021, cathySW and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's great to know; thanks for sharing that! Just out of curiosity, what program stream did you apply to? I selected the Health and Social Care stream. Not sure if you saw but McGill posted they're planning to go back to teaching in person for the Fall term! cnmsw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't asked Lillian or the department about financials. Can I ask a quick question? Do you mean that the school will be providing funding automatically for incoming MSW students? I know that the Toronto schools draw from an Ontario grant to provide as many students as possible with funding. Does McGill/Quebec have anything similar? That was the one part of applying for McGill that I forgot to really look into which I am now regretting. cnmsw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read about McGill funding for graduate students (specifically for MSW) they don't have to apply for the entrance awards / funding - it's done automatically.

Congratz:) I'm not 100% sure, but I think the school will provide some fundings for MSW students. If you are a Quebec resident, then I'm pretty sure the amount of funding will be great; but not sure about non-Quebec resident. Another possibility I thought about is to be hired as Research Assistant or Teaching Assistant by the assigned professor...? It's only my opinion though!

Viredo Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi everyone! I was accepted into Laurier's MSW (part-time) program beginning in May 2021 and also Dal's MSW program beginning in September 2021. Has anyone attended either school? What did you like, what did you not like? I'm leaning more towards Laurier, but I'd love to hear your feedback. What would you choose if you were me?

I got a letter in the mail from the school of social work in early Feb telling me that I was recommended into the MSW program. It said that the final decision is made by the faculty of graduate studies, and I will receive an email from the registrar if/when my application is approved. I’m still waiting though :s my understanding has always been that when students are recommended for admission it’s virtually certain that they will be accepting. So it’s just a bit confusing that other people are having a different experience...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSWAPP2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Has anyone heard back from University of Windsor MSW for working professionals (non BSW route?
