Scholarship MacBain Scholarships
The McCall MacBain Scholarships at
McGill are Canada’s first comprehensive, leadership-driven scholarships for
master’s and professional degree studies.
The scholarship program brings
together a diverse group of scholars who aspire to lead with purpose –
those who have demonstrated leadership potential and an inner drive to make a
positive impact in other peoples’ lives.
The scholarships were announced in
February 2019 by John and Marcy McCall MacBain, through a landmark gift of $200 million. At the time, it
was the single largest gift in Canadian history.
Based on their work over the years
with some of the top scholarships around the world – such as the Rhodes
Scholarships in Oxford, the Mandela Rhodes Scholarships in Cape Town, and the
Kupe Scholarships in New Zealand – they felt it was crucial that Canada have a
comprehensive master’s-level scholarship that builds on, but is not limited to,
academic excellence.
The McCall MacBain Scholarships are
about much more than financial support. We believe in the power of community.
This program brings together a diverse group of scholars who aspire to lead
with purpose – individuals who have demonstrated leadership potential and an inner
drive to make a positive impact in other people’s lives.
While you and your fellow scholars
will go on to work on a broad range of challenges in different sectors, you
share a vision for the kind of leaders you want to be leaders who serve others
with integrity and humility, who are committed to continual learning and
bridge-building, and who take bold, meaningful risks.
As a McCall MacBain Scholar, you’ll be able to pursue
a fully funded master’s or second-entry professional undergraduate program at McGill
University.
The scholarship covers:
Tuition and fees for the full normal duration of the
master’s or professional program
A living stipend of $2,000 per month during academic
terms
A one-time relocation grant for moving to Montréal
Scholars who are not pursuing an academic term during
the summer may apply for up to $5,000 to pursue meaningful summer experiences.
