Award type:
Scholarships/awards
Award description:
Thirty stipends, valued at $1,000 each, are awarded annually to first-year, full-time undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering who have been unable to secure a co-op work term placement. This funding will provide students with an opportunity to work in a start-up company to increase their exposure to an entrepreneurial work culture. Preference will be given to students with financial need who are not receiving any other significant support. The Conrad School will select recipients through a competitive interview process after students have applied to the online job posting for the Bridging Entrepreneurs to Students. This happens after co-op interviews have ended and following final exams. This fund is made possible by a donation from The Esch Foundation.
