Indigenous and Black Engineering and Technology Momentum Fellowships, valued at $30,000 per year, are available annually for doctoral students registered full time in the Faculty of Engineering.
The awards are given to University of Waterloo graduate students working on quantum information at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), based on exceptional achievement in research.
This award was created to celebrate David Johnston’s pivotal contributions to Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at University of Waterloo, his passion for leadership and his enthusiasm for continuous learning, innovation and achievement.
These awards are supported by a variety of sources including the Bell Family Fund and Industry Canada.
The scholarship, valued at $5,000 will be awarded annually to a full-time University of Waterloo graduate student registered in any unit of the Faculty of Mathematics. The scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student on the basis of scholastic excellence who holds an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or another major external scholarship that requires a matching or enhancement component. If the match or enhancement becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This scholarship has been established by Waterloo graduate Dr. Joseph Liu, MMath 1972, PhD Computer Science, 1976. Dr. Liu was a professor of Computer Science at York University, his two sons graduated from Waterloo in Software Engineering and Systems Design Engineering and he has a strong commitment to graduate education and to the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
The main purpose of this award is to provide any outstanding full-time female doctoral student (Canadian citizen, permanent resident or student on a study permit) an entrance scholarship in the amount of $5,000 for one year.
The Mathematics Doctoral Prizes valued at $1500, $1000 and $500 are given annually to recognize the achievement of graduating doctoral students in the Faculty of Mathematics.
The Mathematics Graduate Enhancement Scholarship will be provided automatically to recipients of an Ontario Trillium Scholarship who are registered full time in their doctoral program in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
Two scholarships valued at $10,000, will be awarded annually to full-time female graduate students enrolled in a master’s program in the Faculty of Mathematics.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the University of Waterloo are pleased to announce annual Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis Fellowships to be awarded to international graduate students based on their outstanding promise for excellence of research in Quantum Information Science.
Perimeter Institute (Pl) Residency Graduate Scholarships are available to PhD students registered full time at the University of Waterloo for up to a maximum of four years.
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.
Two scholarships valued at $5,000 will be awarded annually to full-time students pursuing graduate studies in the Faculty of Mathematics. Students must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The scholarships will be awarded to graduate students on the basis of scholastic excellence and to those holding an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or another major external scholarship that requires a matching or enhancement component.
One scholarship, valued at up to $7,500, is awarded annually to a new female graduate student entering the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) in the Fall or Winter term.
One Award, valued at up to $4,500, will be provided annually to a full-time graduate student enrolled in any program in the Faculty of Mathematics.
Dr. David R. Cheriton established this research scholarship for a graduate student in the Faculty of Mathematics, School of Computer Science with preference given to students with concentration in the broad areas of computer systems and/or computer networking. The student will hold an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS). The final selection will be made by the Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Computer Science. This scholarship is open to Canadian and/or permanent residents.
A scholarship, valued at least $3,000, will be awarded annually to full-time graduate students enrolled in any thesis-based master's or doctoral program in any branch in the Faculty of Mathematics.
This scholarship has been established by a gift of Joyce Sinclair (B.Math. 1976, C&O) and Bill Sinclair (B.Sc. 1976, Physics). Scholarships are awarded annually, if suitable candidates exist, to full-time graduate students in Combinatorics and Optimization who have demonstrated excellence in academic and/or research work. Values of the scholarships and recipients will be determined annually by the Chair of the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization in consultation with the departmental graduate committee. The terms of this award may be redefined should the department determine a need to do so.
An award, valued at $5,000 is awarded annually to full-time graduate students enrolled in the Faculty of Mathematics who are in good academic standing. When available and appropriate, this scholarship will now be given in conjunction with external awards that require a matching or enhancement component; such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and Queen Elizabeth II-Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST). Preference will be given to student specializing in mathematical analysis and who hold an OGS or QEII-GSST; however, if the match becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This fund is made possible by donations from family and friends of Susan and Janos Aczel in loving memory of Susan, and in honour of Waterloo distinguished professor emeritus Janos Azcel (Pure Math) who was employed at the University of Waterloo between 1965 and 1993. This scholarship is an expression of the gratitude Susan and Janos Aczel felt for the scholarship support they received as a young married student couple.
This scholarship will be used to enhance external scholarships like Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS),and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).
This scholarship has been established in honour of Professor William Tutte (1917-2002), OC, FRS, FRSC, in recognition of his fundamental contributions to mathematics.
Women in Mathematics Mentorship Awards, valued at $1,000, are provided to graduate students registered in the Faculty of Mathematics who lead an interesting reading or research project on a topic relevant in mathematics.
