Iris Yuzdepski Memorial Graduate Award

Up to three awards valued at up to $2,500 each will be provided in the Winter term to graduate students registered full-time in the second term of their Master's program at the University of Waterloo. Recipients will be selected based on academic excellence (minimum 80% overall average of current program) as well as financial need as determined by submission of an award application. This fund is made possible by a very generous donation from the late Ian Williams in honour and memory of his partner in life Iris Yuzdepski. Iris achieved her BA with a major in Anthropology from the University of Waterloo in May, 1971. The award is specifically for Master's students in Anthropology (Public Issues) who are in their second term and demonstrate both academic merit and financial need.
