University of Waterloo graduate students engaged in energy policy research will benefit for the next 10 years from new energy policy research fellowships.
The Energy Council of Canada announced May 6 that it will provide $500,000 over the next decade to graduate students engaged in energy policy research. Valued at $25,000 for doctoral students and $15,000 for master's students, fellowships will be awarded annually to eligible full-time University of Waterloo students. The energy policy research conducted will be consistent with energy policy topics defined annually by the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE) in conjunction with the ECC.
"The university is extremely thankful to the Energy Council of Canada for its generous funding of graduate student fellowships over the next decade," said Pearl Sullivan, dean of Waterloo Engineering. "We are very pleased that exceptional University of Waterloo graduate students will have the opportunity to conduct important energy policy research and have their findings used to help determine public policies on future Canadian energy issues."
