Award type: 
Scholarships
Award description: 

An award valued at $1500, will be provided annually to a graduate student who had previously been living in India. The student must be registered full time in the first year of a research-based Master's or Doctoral program in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. If an eligible candidate cannot be found in a particular year within the Department of Chemical Engineering, the award will be extended to other departments in the Faculty of Engineering where preference will then be given to students whose research crosses over with Chemical Engineering. Selection will be based on academic achievement (minimum 80% cumulative average or equivalent). Selection of an eligible recipient will be made automatically in the Spring term by the Associate Dean, Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Engineering. This fund is made possible by a donation from Dr. Dilip Bhattacharyya, a Waterloo Engineering alumnus who pursued MASc'68 and Ph.D'73 in Chemical Engineering.
