Two McMaster students selected as McCall MacBain Scholarship finalists

The scholarships, which fully fund a master’s or professional degree at McGill, are awarded based on character, community engagement, leadership potential, entrepreneurial spirit, academic strength and intellectual curiosity.

McMaster students Kieran D’Sena and Julia Naccarato have been selected as national finalists for the McCall MacBain Scholarships at McGill.

“I’m thrilled to dive into Montreal’s incredible food scene and sample everything the city has to offer,” D’Sena said.

“The constant buzz of art, music, and culture makes it feel like a place that’s always alive and ready to be explored.”

Naccarato said she’s looking forward to learning about the art scene in Montreal through local craft markets, dance studios, festivals or theatres.

“I also want to visit green spaces, like Parc Mont-Royal, so I can go birding and bike around the city,” Naccarato said.
