McCall MacBain Scholarships

The McCall MacBain Scholarships provide financial support alongside an interdisciplinary leadership curriculum at McGill University. The program is described as supporting scholars who aspire to lead with purpose and develop as interdisciplinary leaders, with participation in leadership learning activities during their studies.

McCall MacBain Scholars pursue a funded master’s or second-entry professional undergraduate program at McGill University and participate in an interdisciplinary leadership curriculum. The funded programs must consist of 45 credits or more and take place primarily on McGill’s downtown or Macdonald campuses.

Selection is described as taking place through an interview process, with scholarships and awards offered to candidates who distinguish themselves during interviews.

Support includes tuition and fees for the full normal duration of the master’s or professional program, plus a living stipend of $2,300 per month during academic terms. A one-time relocation grant is provided for moving to Montreal. Scholars not pursuing an academic term during the summer may apply for up to $5,000 to pursue meaningful summer initiatives.
