Scholarships
Award description:
A scholarship, valued at up to $50,000, will be provided to one graduate student registered full-time in a doctoral program in the Faculty of Engineering. The scholarship will be paid to the student in equal instalments over the standard program length, as long as they remain registered full time. Selection is based on academic excellence (minimum cumulative average of 80% or equivalent in their current or most recently completed graduate program) combined with an interest in human-factors engineering. This fund is made possible by a donation from Maks Wulkan, a proud engineering alum (BASc’ 97 Electrical) who wants to support graduate students in their research.
