Several awards, valued at $500 - $1,000 each, are provided annually to full- or part-time undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in a degree program at the University of Waterloo who are affiliated with the UW Staff Association (UWSA) as a member or as the child, spouse, grandchild, or dependent of a current UWSA member. Award selection will be based on academic merit (minimum 70% cumulative average) combined with contributions to the University or the community through extracurricular or volunteer activities. Applications are due annually by November 15. Awards of $1,000 will be provided to recipients who qualify for the tuition benefit of 50% (per Policy 24) or for those who do not qualify for this benefit at all. Awards of $500 will be provided to recipients who qualify for a tuition benefit of 100% (per Policy 4). This award is supported by the University of Waterloo Staff Association.
The goal is to provide several awards annually valued at $500 or $1,000: $1,000 for recipients who receive the UW tuition benefit of 50% or less (or no tuition benefit at all), and $500 for recipients who receive the UW tuition benefit of 100%.
Access the application form on the University of Waterloo Staff Association website.

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.
