    MCGILL UNIVERSITY TRUST 

    McGill University Trust supports UK students who wish to have the experience of studying at a university in Canada. Funds are raised by the Trust, principally from alumni and friends of McGill based in the UK, to support a scholarship and bursary programme for UK students wishing to attend McGill and for the general welfare of McGill University.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
