Chachra Family Entrance Scholarships

Two scholarships, valued at up to $2,000 each, are awarded annually to outstanding students entering first year in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

The fund also honours their nephew, Akhil Katarya, who received his BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo in 2004. Selection is based on academic performance, the Admission Information Form (AIF), and an online video interview. These entrance scholarships support students entering various engineering programs including Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, Management Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Nanotechnology Engineering, and Systems Design Engineering.
