Award description:
One or more awards, valued at up to $2,500, will be provided annually to full-time undergraduate students who identify as women enrolled in Year Three or Four of a Computer Science program wherein women are underrepresented. Selection is based on academic achievement (minimum 70% cumulative average) and financial need as determined by Waterloo. Canadian citizens, permanent residents and study permit/visa students are eligible to apply. To be considered, students must complete a bursary application by the fall deadline. This fund is made possible by a donation from Jim (BMath `84) and Cindy (BMath `83) Colvin. At the heart of their passion is a keen understanding that an investment in top UW-educated women students will result in a more balanced talent pool of men and women in the field of computer science.
