Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA)
Needles Hall, second floor, room 2201
We believe that excellence in graduate studies is reinforced by providing funding so you can devote time and energy to your studies.
Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) works closely with our Faculties, academic departments, the Office of Development and external agencies to develop and promote competitive-based awards and scholarships. There are also bursaries available to support those who demonstrate financial need.
The term "award" is a general designation applied to any scholarship, prize, medal, fellowship, or grant of money assigned to a student. Within this designation, awards are further defined as follows:
Recipients of awards and funding may have their information (including details such as recipient name, academic program, award value, etc.) shared with donors, sponsors, agencies and institutional administrative staff for stewardship, recognition and statistical purposes. Please note that through the name/eligibility of the award, recipient demographic information may be identified. Should you have any questions about this, please contact the Associate Director, Graduate Financial Aid & Awards.

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.
