A scholarship, valued at $4,000, will be awarded annually to a full-time female graduate student enrolled in the course-based master’s program in the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department in the Faculty of Engineering, wherein women are underrepresented. Eligible candidates must have a minimum overall average of 80% in their current program. Selection of a recipient will be made automatically in the Winter term by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This award is made possible by a donation from Isobel Field in memory of her late husband to help support female graduate students. Professor James A. A. Field was one of the founding members of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, from which he retired as Professor Emeritus.
One award valued at $4,000 annually. The period of this defined term award will be from 2021 to 2025. The first selection will be made in March 2021 and the last in March 2025.

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 centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
