Award type:

Entrance bursaries (financial need)

Award description:

Two bursaries, valued at up to $9,500 each, will be awarded to full-time female undergraduate students enrolling in Year One of an eligible program in the Faculty of Mathematics (excluding Computer Science) or the Department of Physics & Astronomy in which women are underrepresented. Selection will be based on academic achievement (minimum admission average of 80%) combined with demonstrated financial need as determined by Waterloo. To be considered, students must compete the University of Waterloo Entrance Bursary application by April 15. Recipients will receive $2,000 in Year One, and an additional $2,500 in each of Year Two, Three, and Four. Payments beyond first year are dependent on continued full-time enrolment in an eligible Mathematics or Physics program, as well as maintaining a 70% cumulative average each year. The donors are making this gift in honour of their late parents. Their mother was a strong believer in women studying Mathematics and Physics.
