Keith William Hipel Engineering Graduate Scholarship

A scholarship, valued at $1,500, will be provided annually to a graduate student registered full-time in a doctoral program in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Selection will be based on academic excellence with a minimum 80% cumulative average or equivalent. Preference will be given to students conducting research in the area of Environmental Systems in Engineering with applications including but not limited to water resources management, hydrology, environmental engineering, and energy and sustainability. The scholarship emphasizes high quality research from a systems thinking perspective involving the societal and/or environmental (or physical) systems aspects of the problem. Selection considers academic excellence as well as the publication of high-quality journal and conference papers. This fund is made possible by a donation from Dr. Keith Hipel, a Waterloo Engineering alumnus who pursued MASc'72 in Systems Design Engineering and Ph.D'75 in Civil Engineering.
