Engineering Entrance Awards for Black and Indigenous Students

Up to five awards, valued at $5,000 each, will be provided to full-time undergraduate Black or Indigenous students who are 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 excellence as well as extracurricular and leadership involvement as assessed through the Admission Information Form (AIF) and the online video interview. Recipients will be encouraged to engage in outreach activities in their community and/or high school to create pathways for future students and additional financial incentives will be provided to support these endeavours. This award is made possible by numerous donors that contributed to the Engineering Diversity Fund established by the Faculty of Engineering.
