Susan and Janos Aczel Graduate Scholarship

An award, valued at $5,000 is awarded annually to full-time graduate students enrolled in the Faculty of Mathematics who are in good academic standing. When available and appropriate, this scholarship will now be given in conjunction with external awards that require a matching or enhancement component; such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and Queen Elizabeth II-Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST). Preference will be given to student specializing in mathematical analysis and who hold an OGS or QEII-GSST; however, if the match becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This fund is made possible by donations from family and friends of Susan and Janos Aczel in loving memory of Susan, and in honour of Waterloo distinguished professor emeritus Janos Azcel (Pure Math) who was employed at the University of Waterloo between 1965 and 1993.  This scholarship is an expression of the gratitude Susan and Janos Aczel felt for the scholarship support they received as a young married student couple.
