Intact Scholarship for Indigenous Students in STEM

A scholarship, valued at $5,000, will be awarded annually to a full-time Indigenous undergraduate student enrolled in Year One of any co-op program in the Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics, or Science at the University of Waterloo. For the purpose of this scholarship, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis and/or Inuit. To be considered, students must have completed the Indigenous Verification section in Quest and have had their Indigenous identity verified by the Office of Indigenous Relations. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement, demonstrated connection and/or contributions to Indigenous communities through extracurricular and/or volunteer activities, as well as a statement wherein students are asked to describe what receiving this award would mean to them in their pursuit of post-secondary studies. This fund is made possible by Intact Assurance, a proud Waterloo co-op employer, committed to supporting Indigenous students and creating a work environment that supports, inspires, and respects all individuals.
