Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv student Dariia Zadorozhniuk (BSc’24) has earned a C$10,000 McCall MacBain Regional Award. This scholarship recognizes engaged student leaders who have demonstrated exceptional character, community engagement, leadership potential, entrepreneurial spirit, academic strength, and intellectual curiosity. It provides funding for a full-time master’s or professional program at any public university in Canada.
Dariia is a chemistry student who spent this past year on exchange at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. During eight months spent in Germany, she volunteered for a newcomer integration program, led marketing efforts for her university’s student parliament organization, and tutored students in chemistry. Dariia also spent a summer researching microfluidic devices as a MITACS intern at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is eager to combine her analytical chemistry skills with biological techniques.
Dariia placed among the top 50 of international applicants from 2,250 universities.
The McCall MacBain Scholarships are the result of a landmark C$200 million gift in 2019, then the largest single donation in Canadian history, by John and Marcy McCall MacBain.
Applications will open in June 2024 for September 2025 admission. In addition to 30 fully funded scholarships, up to 100 awards of C$5,000 to $20,000 will be offered. More information about the McCall MacBain Scholarships can be found at mccallmacbainscholars.org.
