Award description: 

A scholarship, valued at $5000 will be awarded annually to a full-time UW master's/doctoral student registered in the Chemical Engineering program in the Faculty of Engineering. The scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student on the basis of scholastic excellence (minimum 80% ). Preference will be given to a student who holds an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or another major external scholarship that requires a matching or enhancement component. If the match or enhancement becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This scholarship has been established by Dr. Ibrahim Elgammal, the President of G.A. Paper International and a Waterloo Engineering alumnus to honour his and his son, Tarek's time at Waterloo and to encourage students to pursue graduate studies.
