This research scholarship was originally funded through generous donations from the late Winifred Shantz followed by a generous donation from the estate of Keith Shantz (Winfred’s late husband). Each year Master of Fine Arts students who have completed a minimum of two terms of study spend at least six weeks of the summer months working as assistants in a professional artist’s studio. On completion of this experience the students devote the balance of the term to developing their work in their own studios. The Keith and Winifred Shantz International Research Scholarship will provide at least one scholarship annually with a value of at least $7,000 to cover the accommodation, living and travel expenses and tuition for that term.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
