Cheriton of School of Computer Science, wherein women are underrepresented. Selection will be based on academic excellence (minimum cumulative average of 80%) and leadership potential as demonstrated through volunteerism on campus or in the community. Interested candidates should submit an application by November 1. This scholarship is made possible through a gift from Disney Lam (BMath '14), in honour of her father.
