The scholarship, administered by the Guelph/Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry and Biochemistry (GWC2), is in memory of the late Professor R.H.F. Manske and was established in 1983. It is awarded annually on a competitive basis and is open to all graduate students registered in the Guelph-Waterloo Centre. Candidates will be considered on the basis of overall abilities, including both research and course work. Nominations will be solicited from Centre faculty and the graduate officers by November 15 of each year. The scholarship will be presented at the Annual Awards Banquet of the Centre.

The CAGS/ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards (DDA) recognize Canadian doctoral dissertations that make unusually significant and original contributions to their academic field. They were established in 1994 and are presented annually. There are two awards: one for engineering, medical sciences and natural sciences; and one for fine arts, humanities and social sciences. The Awards are granted by the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS) and are sponsored by Proquest.

This award has been established by family and friends in honour of Frederick W. Bent (October 30, 1968 - September 29, 2003) to provide assistance to students enrolled in the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science programs. Fred graduated with honours in 1994, with a Master's in Mathematics, Computer Science. He went on to become a successful executive for a local firm before his untimely death. He will always be remembered for his quick and dry wit, his sense of honour, his kindness and selfless generosity.

The prize, administered by Guelph/Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry and Biochemistry (GWC2), was established in 1984. It is awarded annually to any graduate student who presents his/her MSc or PhD Seminar in the previous academic year. The seminar prize is presented to two students on each campus each year. The nomination by the supervisory committee at the time of seminar presentation is to be based on the assessment of the supervisory committee and of the member of the MSc/PhD class attending that seminar.

The Arthur F. Church Graduate Scholarships will be awarded annually to three full-time University of Waterloo graduate students enrolled in Mechanical Engineering who hold an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or a Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science & Technology (QEII-GSST). The recipients are chosen by the Associate Dean, Graduate Studies, Faculty of Engineering.

One award valued at a minimum of $200 will be given annually to a Philosophy graduate student to acknowledge excellence as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Philosophy. Students who were Teaching Assistants (TAs) in any of the three terms in the previous year are eligible to be considered for this award. Selection will be made by the Faculty annually in May and will be based on evidence of good teaching as determined by faculty members who have worked with the TAs.
