Award description:
One scholarship, valued at up to $1,500, will be awarded annually to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in Year Two, Three, or Four majoring in Political Science in the Faculty of Arts. Selection is based on academic excellence (minimum 80% cumulative average) and demonstrated interest in sustainable energy and/or climate change, which may be illustrated by having taken interdisciplinary courses in Environment, Science, or Engineering, membership in related clubs or societies (e.g., Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (W.I.S.E.)) and/or volunteer work. Interested students should apply by February 1. This fund honours alumnus Danny Lam (MASc ’14), who had a great interest in decision making and political systems and understood the benefits of multidisciplinary perspectives. Through personal experience with W.I.S.E., Danny realized how political science students can benefit from a deeper appreciation of engineering and the scientific method as it relates to climate change.
