Nine IQC doctoral students receive scholarship recognizing research excellence
Nine doctoral students at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have received the federal government’s Canada Graduate Research Scholarship (CGRS) which recognizes and supports the next generation of outstanding research trainees.
The CGRS is a scholarship in the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS), and the IQC students’ award is administered by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). The award for doctoral students is valued at $40,000 per year for three years.
The IQC student recipients represent five home departments across Faculties of Engineering, Science and Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
