Frank Deeg International Experience Award

An award, valued at $4,500, will be provided annually to a third- or fourth-year undergraduate student or a student enrolled in a graduate program within the Faculty of Engineering (excluding the School of Architecture). Selection will be based on academic excellence combined with the pursuit of an international co-op placement or internship that is providing minimal pay. Preference will be given to students who will be working with a non-governmental or international organization in fields such as international development, peace and security initiatives, international trade, and international efforts to meet global challenges such as climate change, energy supply transitions, health and medical advances and food production, or a related area. This fund is made possible by a donation from Frank and Kathryn Deeg to encourage and empower students to explore engineering co-op or internship experiences and future careers that intersect with global challenges and international development opportunities.
