Ted Rogers Undergraduate Indigenous Student Award

One award, valued at up to $10,000 over eight academic terms, will be provided to an Indigenous undergraduate student entering Year One of any degree program at the University of Waterloo. Preference will be given to students enrolling in a STEM program. For the purpose of this award, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis or Inuit. As part of the application process, candidates must verify their Indigenous identity with documentation or an affidavit from a recognized Indigenous community. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement, extracurricular and/or volunteer involvement, as well as a statement wherein students are asked to describe what receiving this award would mean to them in their pursuit of post-secondary studies. Interested students must complete the Application for Entrance Awards Designated to Indigenous Students by April 15. This award is made possible by funding from Rogers.
