Gladys Srivastava Graduate Award

This scholarship valued at $5,000 will be awarded every other year to a full-time University of Waterloo graduate student in the Department of English Language and Literature with a focus on Literary, Rhetorical, or Digital-Media Studies in the Faculty of Arts. The scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student on the basis of scholastic excellence and a demonstrated interest in English Language and Literature, Rhetoric and/or Digital Media. Preference will be given to a student 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 The Srivastava Family in honour and with fond memories of Gladys Srivastava.
