Trevor H. Edwards Memorial Award Application

One of more awards, valued at up to $5,000 each, are available annually for mature undergraduate students newly admitted to or already enrolled in full-time degree studies, in any year and program at University of Waterloo. To be considered, students must have been admitted to Waterloo with little or no previous university-level education, who have returned to school after spending five or more years in the workforce and/or have been away from full-time education for five or more years. Candidates must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Selection will be based on academic achievement (minimum 70% overall average or admission average) and the candidate’s ability to demonstrate their ambition to pursue advanced education to achieve goals and successes in life. Interested students are to provide a short essay wherein they describe their employment career to date, explain what has driven them to return to school, and how the program at Waterloo will lead to their chosen career path and future aspirations. This fund is made possible by a donation from the estate of Trevor Edwards, who pursued a university degree later in life, and became an influential architect within the public sector.

Notes: To be considered, students must be enrolling in full-time studies in the coming academic year. Previous recipients of this award are not eligible.

Application deadline: April 15.
