One award, valued at up to $40,000 over eight academic terms, will be awarded to a deserving undergraduate student entering Year One of full-time degree studies in any program in the Faculty of Mathematics. Selection will be based on a combination of academic excellence, Admission Information Form, contest scores as assessed through the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), and on financial need as determined by Waterloo. To be considered, students must complete the University of Waterloo Entrance Bursary application by April 15. Recipients will receive $5,000 per academic term for up to eight terms (1A-4B). Payments beyond Year One are dependent on maintaining a minimum overall average of 75% and full-time enrolment in the Faculty of Mathematics. This award is made possible by a donation from Brian Traquair (BMath ’79) and Janis Traquair (BA ’79).
