The McEuen Scholarship provides full tuition and accommodation to four scholars in any one year, at a cost of more than $50,000 each a year. To our knowledge, it is the largest single scholarship in the country. At present we need to raise approximately $100,000 a year to ensure our endowment continues into perpetuity and we can continue to change the lives of deserving Canadian students from across the country.
 
Our scholars graduate debt free with a degree from one of the world’s great universities. We encourage our most recent graduates to make even a nominal donation on graduation and to “pay it forward” as they establish themselves in their chosen careers and have the means to give more!

36 scholarship applications received by January 31 deadline

We’ve received more than 36 applications from students across the country who are applying for three and four-year scholarships to St. Andrews in 2017. They include a previously short-listed applicant and a set of identical twins, among others. Our selection committee will carefully review the applications and will determine a short list of eight applicants who will be interviewed by our three-member panel in April.

 
McEuen scholar Julia Sawatzky graduated from St. Andrews in March 2016 and was recognized by St. Andrews as one of the highest-achieving students in her class. Prior to that, in October 2015, she was awarded the Principal’s Scholarship for Academic Excellence as one of the top 50 highest achieving graduating students in the entire university. In March 2016 Julia was awarded one of two R&A International Scholarships.
 
Julia writes: “The scholarship will allow me to explore my interest in and passion for the promotion of global health by traveling to Southeast Asia, India and Africa…. Following this year of meaningful and educational travel, I will commence a medical degree program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton in August 2017.

The funding of the McGill University Chair in Scottish-Canadian Studies has reached and slightly surpassed its $3 million goal, thanks in part to initial contributions from the McEuen Scholarship Foundation and the St. Andrews Society. A search committee for the first chair has been constituted and applications are being received from qualified professors across North America and Europe.
