Pearl Sullivan Hack the North Scholarship
Kevin Lau (BASc ’17), Kartik Talwar (BSc ‘16) and Liam Horne are the co-founders of Hack the North which first took place in September 2014. Since then, Hack the North has been held at the University of Waterloo on an annual basis hosting thousands of students.
This scholarship is being established in honour and remembrance of Pearl Sullivan, former dean of Waterloo Engineering and the first woman to serve in that role. She was a champion of Hack the North from the beginning, and she was proud that the Faculty of Engineering was a part of its success.
The scholarship will support students in their journey into the technology industry with the hope of helping them to understand how to form a community around their own interests.
Six awards, valued at $3,333 each, will be provided annually (three Awards in Winter term and three Awards in Fall term) to undergraduate students enrolled in Year One, Two or Three of any program at the University of Waterloo. Selection is based on participation in or attendance at Hack the North and demonstrated interest and experience in building technology and the potential for helping others in building communities.
