Award description:
A scholarship, valued at $2,000, will be awarded annually to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in Year Two or Three of any program in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science in the Faculty of Mathematics. Selection is based on academic excellence (minimum 80% cumulative average) combined with a demonstrated involvement in extracurricular activities on campus and/or in the community.
