Inch Engineering Research Award

An award valued at $6,000 will be awarded annually to a female graduate student registered full-time in a master's or doctoral program in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. The student must be conducting research in the areas of clean energy technology or other technology for climate change mitigation or adaptation. Selection will be based on academic achievement (minimum 80% cumulative average) and demonstrated financial need. This fund is made possible by a donation from the Inch family. The value of the award will be determined by the income generated by the Fund each year, with a goal to provide at least one award valued at $6,000 annually. The value and/or number of awards may change from year to year. Preference will be given to female candidates pursuing research on campus in clean energy technology or climate change mitigation or adaptation technologies.
