Dr. Geddes and his wife Debbie established this research scholarship for a graduate student in the Faculty of Mathematics, with priority given to students with a concentration in Computational Math. In the event that a suitable candidate is not found in Computational Math, the scholarship will be awarded to a student in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science.
The endowment was established from revenues generated by an international biotechnology conference for which Dr. Murray Moo-Young served as Vice-Chair of the organizing committee. One or more scholarships will be awarded annually. Recipients will be selected by the Department of Chemical Engineering from new and continuing graduate students in the Biochemical Engineering (Biotechnology) option.
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST) programs encourage excellence in graduate studies at publicly-assisted universities in Ontario. Since 1975, the OGS program has been providing merit-based scholarships to Ontario’s best graduate students in all disciplines of academic study. In 1998, the Ontario government introduced the QEII-GSST, a merit-based scholarship program targeted specifically toward graduate students in science and technology. Both programs are jointly funded by the Ontario government and participating institutions. The government contributes two-thirds of the value of the awards and the university provides the remaining one-third.
Waterloo reserves two OGS awards for Indigenous* applicants each year.
Scholarship(s) valued at $5,000 will be awarded annually to a full-time University of Waterloo mature graduate student in the Faculty of Science on the basis of scholastic excellence and financial need.
The value of the annual award is determined by the endowment interest each year. The goal is to provide scholarship(s) with a value of $5,000. The value and/or number of scholarships may change as funds permit. The university will make every effort to match this award with government programs. For instance, when matched 2:1 by the Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS), the total value of the scholarship is $15K. It could also be used as a top-up for the NSERC scholarships. If this is not feasible, the scholarships will be valued and awarded at $5,000 each.
This award was established in memory of the late M. Chandrashekar, a Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering for more than twenty-five years.
