2025 Nanofellowship Application for Prospective Students

DEADLINE: 1 FEBUARY 2025

The Nanofellowship competition is held annually. Applicants must hold an active graduate status (or planning to start their graduate degree), with a minimum of two terms remaining in their program, at the University of Waterloo. Applicants must satisfy the general eligibility requirements for the University of Waterloo graduate scholarships. A student can receive the Nanofellowship only once per academic program at the University of Waterloo. If a student transfers from a Master’s to a PhD program, they must wait a minimum of one year before they are eligible to apply for the fellowship again.

Prospective Students are defined as students who have applied to graduate studies at the University of Waterloo and not yet started their graduate program (not yet taking courses or started research). To be eligible for the Nanofellowship, you must have already applied to or will apply to UWaterloo Graduate Studies before the February 1st deadline. If you have submitted your application to UWaterloo Graduate Studies eight (8) months or longer before the time of application to the Nanofellowship, your application may no longer be on file. Please check with the department to which you originally applied to ensure your application is still valid and on file.

This form is for prospective students ONLY. 

Please ensure you only submit this form once with all correct information. Multiple submissions will not be accepted.
