G.A. Paper International Graduate Scholarship

A scholarship, valued at $5000, awarded annually to a full-time University of Waterloo master's or doctoral student registered in the Chemical Engineering program in the Faculty of Engineering. The scholarship is awarded to a graduate student on the basis of scholastic excellence with a minimum 80% average. Preference is given to students who hold an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or another major external scholarship that requires a matching or enhancement component. If the match or enhancement becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This scholarship was established by Dr. Ibrahim Elgammal, President of G.A. Paper International and a Waterloo Engineering alumnus, to honour his and his son Tarek's time at Waterloo and to encourage students to pursue graduate studies in Chemical Engineering.
