Anuj Jain Family Award for Entrepreneurship

One award, valued at $5,000, will be provided annually to undergraduate or graduate students participating in Concept or Velocity programming at the University of Waterloo. Preference will be given to students pursuing this experience on a co-op term. Selection will be based on a merit-evaluation process including, but not limited to, the progress of the start-up's business model and viability for commercial success. This fund is made possible by a donation from proud UWaterloo alumnus Anuj Jain (BASc '97) and the Vijay Anand Foundation to support student entrepreneurship at Waterloo and to encourage more students to follow their passion in the start-up community. The award period runs from 2025 to 2031, with the first selection made in winter term 2025 and the last in winter term 2031. Interested students or teams should submit an application by Friday of the second week of the winter term to Velocity. In the case of group submission, award funds will be divided equally among each team member.
