A recent Brandon University graduate is going to Montreal to interview as a national finalist for McGill University’s McCall MacBain Scholarships.
Aimée Schmidt graduated from BU last year with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and is applying to master’s programs in the same field at McGill.
She was one of more than 700 Canadians to apply for the scholarship and is among 53 Canadian finalists to go to Montreal for interviews, with accommodations and travel costs paid for. There are also 38 finalists from other countries.
Schmidt is BU’s first finalist for the scholarship, the university said.
“Being named a finalist is both humbling and energizing,” Schmidt said in a BU news release. “I’m grateful for the opportunity and for the many mentors, peers and experiences that helped bring me to this point.”
