Mount Allison University graduate Rajan Minocha-McKenney (BSc’25) is one of 20 Canadians selected to join the sixth cohort of McCall MacBain Scholars at McGill University.
Established with a historic $200 million gift in 2019, the McCall MacBain Scholarships are Canada’s largest leadership-based scholarships for master’s and professional studies. More than 700 Canadian students applied for the opportunity, and the top 150 participated in the first round of interviews across the country and online. Afterwards, 91 finalists were invited to attend final interviews in Montreal in March.
The scholarship covers tuition, living stipends, relocation, and additionally mentorship, coaching, and leadership program activities.
“I received the news in my hometown of Amherst, Nova Scotia. For me, it was a full-circle moment finding out in the place where I grew my roots, realizing how far I’ve come and the many role models who have shaped me along the way. I’m truly grateful!” said Rajan. “What means the most to me is the people. Being surrounded by mentors and a community that challenges and supports you at such a high level is rare. It gives me the space to grow, shape my future, and turn the work I care about into something meaningful for others.”
