When the next academic year begins in September 2026, Jamaican Justin Brown will be one of 10 international students starting a Master of Management in Analytics postgraduate programme at McGill University in Canada.

The 20-year-old University of Technology (UTech), Jamaica student was one of 2,000 candidates worldwide who applied for the McCall MacBain Scholarship at the Montreal, Quebec-based university.

Brown, the only Jamaican in the pool, completed the final round of interviews in March, with the university this month announcing the 11 international applicants and 19 Canadians who will form the sixth cohort to secure Canada’s largest leadership-based scholarship.
