OVERVIEW OF THE McCALL MacBAIN SCHOLARSHIPS<\/h2>\n

The McCall MacBain Scholarships<\/strong> were announced in February 2019 by John and Marcy McCall MacBain<\/strong>, whose $200 million gift to McGill University created the program. The founders drew on their years of involvement with some of the world’s top scholarship programs \u2014 including the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford<\/strong>, the Mandela Rhodes Scholarships in Cape Town<\/strong>, and the Kupe Leadership Scholarships in New Zealand<\/strong> \u2014 and concluded that Canada needed a comprehensive master’s-level scholarship that builds on, but is not limited to, academic excellence.<\/p>\n

The program brings together a diverse group of scholars who aspire to “lead with purpose”<\/strong> \u2014 individuals who have demonstrated leadership potential and an inner drive to make a positive impact in other people’s lives. While scholars go on to work on a broad range of challenges across sectors, they share a vision of becoming leaders who serve others with integrity and humility<\/strong>, who are committed to continual learning and bridge-building<\/strong>, and who take bold, meaningful risks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since 2021, the program has offered over 600 scholarships and awards<\/strong>, supported by a network of 200+ universities<\/strong> and 500+ volunteer selectors<\/strong> worldwide \u2014 representing an annual investment of $3 million<\/strong> in tuition and living costs alone. The organization is a registered Canadian charity working in close partnership with the McCall MacBain Foundation<\/strong> and McGill University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
