It's not possible.
First you have to get admitted to a school first, in each school there is what they call the MCF committee (four people, when you get in you will know), After you must have received admission, your Essays now and others details in your application will be forward to the MCF committee to review, and at the end (in McGill case) 13 students are selected from those that got admitted.
And the scholarship is for a life time, now in my case, Normally If you already have the scholarship with another school, you can't apply to others (all one body) but I was allowed to, because the Canadian Embassy denied me entry (that is why I'm only applying to schools in US) MCF chair person actually spoke to US schools on my behalf too, but they say blah blah I have to write SAT and then get admission, that's why mine is different (although McGill is still working on my Visa issue, this is like a backup plan, if things don't go well).

On a normal day:Admission First before scholarship note: 100 Students can be admitted but few will get MCF offer.

Stanford Rejected my application cheesy Click my signature and read the sweet rejection email they sent Mua grin

Sorry for the rejection.

On your diary, you mentioned your other alternatives, including Harvard and Duke universities. Is Harvard an MCF partner institution? Do the aforementioned schools grant the MasterCard Fellowship to graduate students?

Regards.

No Harvard is not an MCF partner, but they have a financial package they give to its student (sometimes covering up to 100% of your needs)

Duke is an MCF partner but exclusively to UG.

I did apply to Stanford for my LLM, now waiting for their response. I applied for a waiver of TOEFL, and i was given. If you cannot write TOEFL due to time constraint, check if the school allows for waiver, and leverage on it. But i think Stanford has closed now. But i know University of California, Berkeley's application closes on 15th of Jan, 2015. For those considering undergraduate aplication, i understand that its a motley of crowd applicants, but give it your best shot.

You are for PG right?
Stanford does not need TOEFL but SAT which is compulsory!
University of california, Berkeley is closed for UG, unless your talking about PG, and they require both SAT and TOEFL (the only Nigerian who got his waived last year, was because he worked with EducationUS).
Please when addressing the thread, specify which degree you are talking about. Thanks.

And all the Best on your LLM application to stanford (what's LLM)
