An award, valued at a minimum of $2,500, is available annually to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in any program at the University of Waterloo. Eligible candidates must demonstrate financial need and have a minimum average of 75%. Candidates must currently be in extended society care in Ontario (previously called Crown (permanent) ward), or have been in extended society care in Ontario for at least one year after turning 13 years old.
