Aziz Shallwani Memorial Award for Black and Indigenous Students

An award, valued at up to $1,650, will be provided annually to a Black or Indigenous undergraduate student entering Year One of any program in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. For the purpose of this scholarship, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis, and/or Inuit. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement, the Admission Information Form (AIF), the online video interview, as well as an application statement wherein students are asked to describe the impact this award will have on their pursuit of post-secondary studies. This fund was established by family and friends of Aziz Shallwani (BASc '00) to honour his memory and to support diversity and inclusion among the next generation of Waterloo engineering students. Interested students should submit an online application through the Waterloo applicant portal by April 15.
