Faculty of Mathematics Entrance Scholarship for Black Students

Several scholarships, valued from $10,000 to $20,000 each, paid over eight academic terms, will be provided to Black domestic undergraduate students (Canadian citizen, Permanent Resident, or Protected Person) entering Year One of any full-time degree program in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement and community involvement through extracurricular and/or volunteer activities. Preference will be given to students who best demonstrate what receiving this award would mean to their pursuit of post-secondary studies. The scholarship will be issued in eight equal payments (1A-4B) over the course of the degree. Payments beyond Year One are dependent on maintaining a minimum overall average of 80% and full-time enrolment in the Faculty of Mathematics. Black students may include African, Afro-Caribbean, Black Canadian, Afro-Latine, African American, Afro-Indigenous, or other African descent.
