Nineteen Canadians and 11 international students will receive Canada's largest leadership-based scholarship for master's and professional studies, forming the sixth cohort of McCall MacBain Scholars at McGill. Established with a historic $200-million gift in 2019, the scholarship covers tuition and fees, living expenses, mentorship, coaching, and a leadership program.
Applicants this year came from more than 2,300 universities worldwide. Of those, 280 advanced to first-round interviews held in October and November 2025. Then, 91 finalists were invited to attend interviews in Montreal in March.
The international students hail from 11 different countries, including first-time representation from Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, and Peru. The Canadian students come from 17 cities and towns in eight provinces. See the full list of scholars here.
