Layer 6 - TD Graduate Scholarship in Data and AI

Two scholarships, each valued at $15,000, will be provided to PhD students registered full-time at the University of Waterloo. Selection will be based on academic excellence and demonstrated research interest in the areas of Large Language Models, Agentic Systems, Tabular Data Modelling, or Trustworthy AI. The Waterloo Data & Artificial Intelligence Institute will select recipients based on an award application with award payments starting in the fall term. This fund is made possible by a donation from TD. Scholarship will be awarded in addition to any minimum funding the student is offered. Award recipients and their supervising professors may be offered the opportunity to work jointly with TD which may include paper authorship, internships, and/or opportunities to connect with company leaders.
