Interested students should submit an application by February 15. This scholarship was established in memory of Dr. Louis Giroux, a well-respected research scientist at CanmetENERGY who worked closely with many Waterloo co-op students over the years, and is made possible by a donation from his wife Claire and the Canadian Carbonization Research Association.
