Bachelor of Arts students Jonah Cameron and Lauren Sooksom will soon journey to Montreal as national finalists for the McCall MacBain Scholarships at McGill.
Established with a landmark $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 Canadians applied, and 151 advanced to a first round of interviews in November. The top 53 Canadians will attend the final round of interviews in Montreal, joined by 38 finalists from other countries. Travel and accommodation costs are covered for the final interviews.
“I have never been to Montreal before, and I am most excited to try authentic poutine for the first time,” said Sooksom. “I’ve tried to make homemade cheese curds multiple times and haven’t been very successful. I’m dying to taste the real deal!”
