Several awards, valued at up to $40,000 (paid over eight academic terms), will be provided annually to full-time undergraduate students entering Year One of any program at the University of Waterloo or its affiliated and federated institutions. To be considered, students must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, as well as a resident of the Region of Waterloo at the time of acceptance of an offer of admission. Selection will be based on demonstrated financial need as determined by Waterloo. To be considered for this award, students must complete the University of Waterloo Entrance Bursary application by April 15. Recipients will receive $5,000 per term for up to eight terms (1A-4B). All payments are contingent on maintaining good academic standing and full-time enrolment in degree studies. This fund is made possible by a donation from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation whose aim is to increase access to higher education and empower youth to pursue their educational aspirations.
