Alison Scott, a chemical engineering MASc candidate, has been awarded the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation's Vale Scholarship. Each year the prestigious scholarship of $10,000 is awarded to one woman enrolled full-time in an engineering master’s program at a Canadian university.
Scott, who graduated with her BASc in chemical engineering from Waterloo in 2013, is described as a great ambassador for engineering by Mary Wells, engineering's associate dean, outreach.
As a young girl, Jennifer Howcroft loved science as much as she loved helping people so she always assumed she’d become a medical doctor.
But when she heard about biomedical engineering in her teens, Howcroft knew she had found her true calling. Biomedical engineering allowed Howcroft, now a doctoral student in Waterloo’s Department of Systems Design Engineering, to blend her passion for creating and building with her drive to improve the lives of people.
