This fund is made possible by a donation from the Fong Education Foundation Limited. Mr. Eddie Fong (BMath ’80) has enjoyed an extremely successful career and is pleased to support his alma mater.
The Amit & Meena Chakma Awards for Exceptional Teaching by a Student were established through a generous gift by Dr. and Mrs. Chakma to recognize and promote teaching excellence of our next generation of educators. The Awards are given in recognition of excellence in teaching of all kinds by registered students and are open to all students who have a formal teaching role (e.g. teaching assistant, laboratory demonstrator, sessional lecturer) at the University of Waterloo or its federated and affiliated university/college. Recipients are to be chosen from among nominees by a Selection Committee of faculty and students. They will present up to four awards each year valued in the range of $1,000 each. Dr. and Mrs. Chakma established these awards to recognize and promote teaching excellence of our next generation of educators.

A scholarship will be awarded annually to a full-time female graduate student enrolled in a Master’s or Doctoral program in the Faculty of Mathematics on the basis of academic excellence in their studies and/or research. The value of the award will be determined by the income generated by the fund each year, however, the goal is to provide at least one award valued at $3,000 annually.
An entrance scholarship, valued at up to $5000, will be awarded annually to an international graduate student registered full-time in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering.
