Through a generous donation from alumnus Calvin Choi, the AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship program has been able to provide a limited number of highly prestigious fellowships to exceptional academics, researchers and inventors. Fellowships include a $75,000 annual salary and an engagement fund of $7,500.
Beginning in 2020, the program welcomed five cohorts of exceptional scholars to Waterloo, with 2024 being the final cohort. The competition for the 2024 cohort closed on December 1, 2023, and no further applications will be considered for the AMTD program.
