John E. Thompson Biology Graduate Scholarship

The John E. Thompson Biology Graduate Scholarship is valued at $5,000 and is awarded annually to a full-time University of Waterloo graduate student registered in the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Science. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of scholastic excellence to a graduate student who holds an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS), Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science & Technology (QEII-GSST) or another major external scholarship that requires a matching or enhancement component. If the match or enhancement becomes unavailable or a suitable recipient cannot be found, the funds will be paid out as a regular graduate scholarship. The award is paid over 3 academic terms starting in the Fall term.
