About McCall MacBain International Fellowships
Opportunity Details
The Fellowship year includes learning a new language, studying at a host institution, and completing an internship or work placement. During the year, fellows live with local hosts and spend time volunteering. These components help students respectfully participate in and learn about a new culture, build ties with local communities, gain different academic and professional perspectives, and develop their curiosity, independence, critical-thinking, and self-awareness. To gain a richer experience, fellows travel to countries that are unfamiliar to them and where they can develop language skills in a language that is not well known to them.
Benefits of McCall MacBain International Fellowships
- A monthly living stipend during the language and academic terms
- Waived tuition through their home university, subject to their nomination
- Travel and establishment stipend, language course allowance, and medical allowance
- A country contact
