Congratulations to ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ graduate Amanda Sears, recipient of the inaugural McCall MacBain Scholarship!

Amanda is one of 20 Canadians chosen as an inaugural McCall MacBain Scholar.

The McCall MacBain Scholarship, Canada’s first comprehensive leadership-based scholarship for master’s and professional studies, enables students to pursue a fully funded master’s or professional degree at McGill University while connecting with mentors and participating in an intensive leadership development program. Amanda graduated from York in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy. Amanda served as editor-in-chief of Pro Tem, ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Glendon’s bilingual student newspaper, managing a team of 13. She also helped edit the Glendon Journal of International Studies.

A proud York Lion, she credits York with providing many opportunities to develop and empower her leadership skills. "Many of the strengths and skills that I brought to the application process were developed during my undergraduate degree. This is especially the case for my leadership experience, which grew significantly within the University environment — you can learn a lot by maximizing your campus involvement!"
