Funding for Indigenous* graduate students, including internal and external awards and bursaries can be found on our searchable graduate funding and awards database. If you are seeking funding for Indigenous students, use the Affiliation option to limit your search.
Additionally, the Office of Indigenous Relations at the University of Waterloo has a webpage that details Bursaries, Awards & Scholarships.
*For the purpose of awards, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis, or Inuit as defined in the Canadian Constitution Act 1982. To protect the integrity of Indigenous graduate students eligible for specific funding, those identifying as Indigenous must be verified by the Office of Indigenous Relations at the University of Waterloo through the Indigenous verification process.

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.
