Award description:
Nine awards, valued at up to $10,000 each, will be presented annually to full-time undergraduate students who are pursuing an enterprise co-op opportunity and are enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering. Selection will be based on academic achievement and demonstrated entrepreneurial outlook. Preference will be given to students who will not be receiving any other funding in support of entrepreneurial work experience and who are actively working on a technology/engineering-based venture. Interested students should apply to be accepted into the Enterprise Co-op no later than the start of the co-op term. They will be assessed for these awards as part of the e-launch process during the first week of the enterprise co-op term. This fund is made possible by a donation from The Esch Foundation, to expand opportunities for students to establish their own business as an alternative to a traditional co-op work term experience.
