A landmark donation promotes education for all
Announced Wednesday, a $200-million donation to McGill on behalf of the McCall MacBain family will establish a scholarship fund that will allow graduate students to pursue higher learning that otherwise may have been out of reach.
The scholarships, which comprise the largest Canadian philanthropic gift in history, will cover tuition, fees and a living stipend for 75 students every year – 50 from across Canada and 25 from around the world – and will aim to reward good citizenship and leadership qualities.
