A scholarship valued at approximately $1,000, is awarded annually to full-time graduate students enrolled in the Master's/Doctoral program in the School of Optometry Vision Science graduate program whose research provides basic or clinical information pertaining to the developing visual system in infants and children. The Dr. Emerson Woodruff Graduate Scholarship was established in his memory, through the support of family and friends, to honour this former Professor and Director of the University of Waterloo's School of Optometry for his many contributions to optometric education and the profession. This scholarship recognizes his leadership role in the establishment of the School's Vision Science program and his passion for paediatrics research.
