A 2019 NorKam secondary graduate has been awarded a graduate scholarship to McGill University in Montreal.
Kyla Christianson, a current UBC Okanagan student, was chosen from a pool of nearly 700 applicants following a seven-month selection process.
The McCall MacBain Scholarship will cover all tuition and fees of a graduate program at McGill, where Christianson will further study, as well as approximately $40,000 per year in living stipends, a leadership program and summer funding options.
Christianson is studying nursing and serves as a student senator. After graduating this year, she plans to pursue a master’s degree in advanced nursing, with a concentration in global health.
Christianson founded a Rotary Youth Exchange club and was recently elected co-president of the international exchange program.
