IQC Entrance Award

The IQC Entrance Award is supported by a variety of sources including the Bell Family Fund and Industry Canada. These awards are made to graduate students entering studies in quantum information at the University of Waterloo. The awards recognize academic excellence and potential for research as determined by grades, research statements, and reference letters. Several awards valued at $5,000 are available each term (Winter, Spring, and Fall). All students applying to the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are automatically considered for this scholarship, with decisions made by the IQC Scholarship Committee based on academic performance, research statements, and references.
