Effective May 1, 2019, during the spring 2019 admissions cycle, eligible international master’s students entering a research-based graduate program at the University of Waterloo will have the opportunity to be awarded this esteemed scholarship. The selection process for this award will be based on academic excellence as demonstrated through the students’ applications for admission to the graduate program, and faculties will nominate qualifying students based on the faculty’s award allocation. This is an incredible opportunity for international students to pursue their higher education goals at the University of Waterloo.
