Award type: 
Entrance bursaries (financial need)
Award description: 

One award, valued at $5,000, will be provided to a deserving undergraduate student entering Year One of Biomedical, Computer, Management, Software or Systems Design Engineering. Selection will be based on a combination of academic excellence, the Admission Information Form, online interview and demonstrated financial need as determined by Waterloo. To be considered, students must complete the University of Waterloo Entrance Bursary application by April 15. This award is made possible by a donation from PureFacts Financial Solutions, a growing wealthtech company that provides global enterprise wealth management and asset management solutions for the financial services industry, founded by Robert Madej (BMath ’92, MMath ’94). Alongside this award comes the opportunity to participate in the PureScholars program at PureFacts. Program involvement may extend beyond the term of the financial award, and may include mentorship opportunities, internship information, and chances to connect with company leaders throughout the student's time at UWaterloo. Scholarship winners are encouraged but not obligated to participate in the PureScholars program.
