More than 20 first-year students are pursuing their education at the University of Waterloo with support from Rogers. The University’s long-time partner delivers the Ted Rogers Scholarships, including the $100,000 Legacy Scholarship for students in STEM-focused programs and the $26,800 Future Leader Scholarship. The national awards program recognizes academic excellence and community leadership in students facing financial need, with preference on equity-deserving students.
“We are proud to invest millions each year to deliver scholarships with university partners across Canada like the University of Waterloo, and to help youth pursue their post-secondary dreams,” said Navdeep Bains, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Rogers Communications. “An investment in our country’s youth is an investment in Canada’s future.”
The Legacy and Future Leader Scholarships are awarded in partnership with six Canadian universities, including Waterloo. Waterloo has awarded the scholarships with a focus on underrepresented students in STEM and other fields.
