The Marcy C. McCall Kinesiology Scholarships provide opportunities for students to gain meaningful, real-world experience that supports their academic and professional development.  

The scholarships are the first awards of their kind in Canada to both offset tuition costs and provide guaranteed funding for experiential learning opportunities.  

Renewable for up to three years, each scholarship includes $50,000 in experiential learning stipends and three years of waived tuition. Funding supports experiences such as an internship at PACE, summer research opportunities and international exchanges. 

Each year, up to 10 students entering Level II of their kinesiology program are designated as Marcy C. McCall Kinesiology Scholars.
