Iranian Student Memorial Engineering Graduate Scholarship

A scholarship valued at up to $1,700 awarded annually to a full-time international graduate student enrolled in the doctoral program in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Selection is based on academic excellence with a minimum 80% cumulative average in their current program and an assessment of the student's Fall term activity report. Each department in the Faculty of Engineering will nominate students annually for this award. This fund is made possible by a donation from several donors in honour of Waterloo Engineering students and alumni who lost their lives in the Ukraine International Flight PS752 plane crash. The award can be held in addition to minimum funding and in conjunction with other major awards. Recipients are only eligible to receive the award once over the course of their program. Each department in the Faculty of Engineering identifies and nominates their top two candidates based on term activity report submissions, and the Faculty of Engineering's Graduate Studies Office selects recipients normally each Winter. The award is distributed as a one-time payment.
