Azita Darabian Memorial Award

An award, valued at up to $6,000, will be provided annually to a full-time undergraduate student entering Year One in the School of Pharmacy. Selection will be based on academic excellence (minimum admission average of 80%), combined with extracurricular involvement and/or participation in volunteer activities and their intention of continuing their involvement through activities within the School of Pharmacy. Candidates must also have a demonstrated financial need as determined by Waterloo. To be considered, students must submit the University of Waterloo Full-time Bursary application along with a statement (maximum 1,000 words) describing their eligibility by the deadline outlined in the invitation to apply. The selected student will receive $3,000 in Year One. To be considered for the remaining $3,000, the recipient will have achieved a 75% cumulative average in Year One and will be asked to provide a letter by November 15 of their 2A term, outlining their extracurricular involvement within the School of Pharmacy and how they achieved their goals as set out in their original application. This fund is made possible by a donation from the Darabian Family in memory of their daughter and sister, Azita Darabian.
