The McCall MacBain Scholarships are about much more than financial support. We believe in the power of community and provide scholars with opportunities to develop as interdisciplinary leaders in a complex world. 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 McCall MacBain Scholars will go on to work on a broad range of challenges in different sectors, they share a vision for becoming leaders who serve others with integrity and humility, who are committed to continual learning and bridge-building, and who take bold, meaningful risks.
