Scotiabank donates $1M to increase STEM diversity
One of the largest financial institutions in Canada is contributing more than $1 million to help increase diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields at the University of Waterloo.
Scotiabank is using the money to create a variety of scholarships to support students from underrepresented groups as they pursue STEM studies.
Also included in the Scotiabank Future of Talent and Innovation Initiative is support for engineering outreach to racialized students in Grades 1 to 12, as well as the existing Women in Engineering program.
