Am considering sending my SAT score to mcgill even though it's not required... Will it boost my chances of getting accepted
Apparently yes, it can boost your chances of getting admission but not the issue of getting the scholarship.

Clarendon Scholarship - Oxford University, UK - The prestigious Clarendon Scholarship for graduate study at the University of Oxford, UK, is now open for applications for the 2018-2019 session. All applicants for graduate study at the University are eligible. Clarendon scholars come from all continents in the world: from the USA to Australia, Venezuela to Vietnam and from Norway to Nigeria. About 140 scholarships are awarded each year.
Scholarship Details

The Clarendon Scholarships are awarded to academically excellent students with the best proven and future potential. The awards are sponsored by Oxford University Press and are only available at the University of Oxford. The scholarships are for graduate degrees and open to full-time and part-time students. Decisions on awards are based solely on academic merit.
Worth of Awards

Clarendon Scholarships cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for living expenses.
The grant for living expenses for scholars on a full-time course is normally sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single student living in Oxford.
Scholars on a part-time course receive a pro-rata amount of the full-time grant for living expenses. Part-time Master’s scholars are offered 1/3 of the full-time grant per year for two years. Part-time DPhil scholars are offered 1/6 of the full-time grant per year for six years.

Note

Under the new Combined Award Policy for Clarendon Scholarship holders that came into effect from the 2011-12 academic year Clarendon scholars may be in receipt of a funding package covering tuition fees, college fees and living expenses from multiple sources, and the value of the funding package from these sources may equal up to the total of a standard Clarendon Scholarship plus an additional £2,500 p/a for living expenses
Clarendon scholars may hold small external awards that cover non-fee costs (e.g. to support conference attendance, fieldwork costs and travel) up to the equivalent GBP value of £2,500 p/a without any adjustment to your Clarendon funding package.


Duration of Awards

Clarendon Scholarships are offered for the full period that you are liable to pay tuition fees to the University, which is usually the same as the length of your course
Scholarships are subject to an annual renewal process based on satisfactory academic progress.

Level of Study

All degree-bearing courses at graduate level are eligible.
This encompasses all full-time and part-time Master’s courses (MSt, MSc, BCL/MJur, MBA, MFE, MPhil, BPhil, MSc by Research, MTh) and all DPhil (same as PhD) programmes.
Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma courses are not eligible for this scholarship.

Eligibility

From September 1, 2011, all graduate applicants will be eligible for this prestigious scholarship funding which has, up until now, only been open to candidates with overseas fee status
Candidates applying to start a new graduate course at Oxford are eligible. This includes students who are currently studying for a Master’s degree at Oxford but who will be re-applying for a DPhil (you would be eligible for funding for the DPhil)
Candidates who already have a place but who deferred entry from a previous year are not eligible to apply (as you can apply for Clarendon in the year that you applied for your place and then, if you are successful, you can apply to defer your funding if you need to defer your place)
Students who will continue to study for the same degree at Oxford in the next year are not eligible for this scholarship.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria vary slightly depending on the subject area and whether applicants apply for a taught or research degree, but include:

An excellent academic record is essential: A first class honours degree or its equivalent (a GPA score of at least 3.7 if the mark is out of 4) or an outstanding academic record at Master’s level is necessary. Other indicators of high academic achievement may include individual marks on student transcripts; evidence of previous university prizes or awards; information on your overall position within your cohort; and publications (if applicable).
Aptitude for the proposed course of study: This may be assessed by reviewing academic references, the research proposal, demonstrated evidence of aptitude for research, and the likelihood the scholar will contribute significantly to their field of study.
Student motivation: This is assessed through evidence of the applicant’s commitment to their proposed course, evaluated by the personal statement and referees’ reports.


How to Apply

By applying for graduate study at Oxford University you will automatically be considered for a Clarendon Scholarship. You do not need to submit any additional documents specifically for the Clarendon Scholarships and there is no separate scholarship application form.
Application Deadline:

The application deadline for Clarendon scholarship is January 8 or 19, 2018 depending on the university admission deadline for the course you are applying to.

Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund Scholarships - The Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund awards scholarships to Sudanese and South Sudanese nationals studying a postgraduate course in the UK who plan to return to Sudan at the end of their studies. Organisations undertaking educational activities and projects in South Sudan and Sudan are also eligible for funding.

Application Timeline: Application opens on 1st December 2017 and closes on 28th February 2018.

Offered Annually? Yes

About the Award: The Trust was established in 1899 by public subscription to honour the name of General Charles George Gordon of the British army, who was killed during the Mahdi’s uprising in 1885. Gordon Memorial College, an educational institution in Sudan, was built between 1899 and 1902 as part of Lord Kitchener’s wide-ranging educational reforms, and also named in honour of Gordon. In 1924, the college was merged with the new Khartoum University, as was the Kitchener School of Medicine.

The Trust may also give financial assistance to Sudanese and South Sudanese nationals towards the costs of shorter training programmes, projects and courses in the UK, and applications for funding support of new courses will also be considered.

FOR MORE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES VISIT https://www.scholarsarena.net/
Eligibility

In awarding grants, priority will be given to students who are already enrolled on a course in the UK, rather than those wanting to embark on new postgraduate courses.
A letter of support from the student’s course supervisor is essential. Applications will not be considered without such a letter.
In awarding grants, preference will be given to those applicants whose chosen courses will enable them to contribute to the skills base of South Sudan or Sudan, and who demonstrate their intention to return to South Sudan or Sudan after their studies.
No support can be given for dependent relatives.
Organisations undertaking educational activities and projects in South Sudan and Sudan are also eligible for funding.

Value of Award: Grants may be given towards the cost of course fees, and/or food and accommodation, and occasionally for other academic expenses, such as books.

Duration of Program: Grants are only made for one year at a time.

How to Apply: If you wish to apply to the Trust Fund for financial support, please read the Advice to Applicants, refer to the Timetable, and complete and submit the Application Forms at the appropriate time.

Visit Program Webpage for Details

Important Notes: Please note that at present due to current difficulties in transferring funds to the Sudan it is not possible for the Trust to support individual students studying in South Sudan or Sudan, nor can we normally provide funds directly to organisations in Sudan / South Sudan.
