Lea Vogel-Nimmo English Graduate Professionalization Award

A scholarship provided annually to full-time graduate students registered in the Master's or Doctoral program in the Department of English Language and Literature in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. The award is based on academic excellence (minimum 80%) and merit of professionalization activities such as research travel costs or conference attendance. This fund was made possible by a donation from David Clarence Nimmo in memory of his late wife Lea Vogel-Nimmo who, via the generosity of others, was given opportunities to develop her artistic talent and reach her professional goals. Students are selected by the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in English Language and Literature, in consultation with the Department Graduate Committee. Applicants must submit a short (250 word) description of how the professionalization funds will be used.
