Dr. Brian Rudrick Memorial Graduate Award in Applied Philosophy

At least one award is provided annually to full-time graduate students in the Department of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. Preference is given to doctoral students who are completing an Applied Research Placement. The value and number of awards depend on the number of eligible student applicants and their proposed expenses during their Applied Research Placement. If no suitable doctoral candidates apply, the department Graduate Committee will invite Master's students who are pursuing research in applied philosophy to apply. Students are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and the likelihood of a student incurring additional expenses due to the nature or location of their Applied Research Placement. Interested students must submit an application to the Department of Philosophy at least one month prior to the start of their Placement. This fund is made possible by a generous donation from the estate of Dr. Brian Rudrick.
