Time to dream no small dreams

runs an interesting leadership scholarship programme founded and funded, with local support, by Canadians John and Marcy McCall MacBain. The Kupe Leadership Scholarship, as it is called, is one of many the McCall MacBains have established around Commonwealth countries. In New Zealand, it is offered to about 18 postgraduate students from all faculties within the university. It provides a scholarship payment, a mentor for the year the scholarship is held, and a programme of leadership training based around live-in workshops and seminars that include leaders from many fields of political, social and academic endeavour. Though the students, who are awarded the scholarship after a rigorous selection process, are, without a doubt, extremely able academically, it is their potential to be leaders for which they are selected.
