The McLaine Scholarships

The McLaine Central/East European Leadership Program Endowment Fund was established originally as the East/West Leadership Program in 1989, in order to encourage a new generation of leaders from Central and East European nations
to live at International House by providing financial assistance to students from these countries. The fund seeks to continue the increased representation of this region, following an initial grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and is also used to
support programs focusing on the region. The fund is named after Alan and Tudy McLaine (Canadian and American students, respectively) who met at International House where they both resided in the 1950's, a time of tremendous change in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. After completing his studies in Soviet economics, Alan joined the Canadian diplomatic service and later was named Ambassador to a number of Central/East European countries.

The McLaine Scholarship Fund was established in 1992. The McLaine Scholarship is given in memory of the late Alan P. McLaine, a distinguished International House alumnus, Canadian Ambassador to several East European countries and a Canadian
representative to the Council of World Members at International House. The McLaine scholarship recipient must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Central East European background and demonstrate a commitment to Central/East
European causes.
