Gladys Srivastava Graduate Award

This scholarship valued at $5,000 is awarded every other year to a full-time University of Waterloo graduate student in the Department of English Language and Literature with a focus on Literary, Rhetorical, or Digital-Media Studies in the Faculty of Arts. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of scholastic excellence and a demonstrated interest in English Language and Literature, Rhetoric and/or Digital Media. 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 are paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. This scholarship has been established by The Srivastava Family in honour and with fond memories of Gladys Srivastava. The award provides up to $5,000 for one full award paid over three academic terms. Students are selected automatically by the Faculty/Department without requiring an application.
