Lynn Cope Conroy Graduate Scholarship for Women in Science

The Lynn Cope Conroy Graduate Scholarship for Women in Science is awarded annually to full-time domestic graduate students who identify as women and are registered in research-based Master's or Doctoral programs where women are underrepresented in the Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo. Selection is based on academic excellence (minimum cumulative average of 80% or equivalent) and research excellence, with preference given to students who do not concurrently hold a major scholarship at the time of admission. This fund was established through a donation from David Gerard Conroy (BASc '77) and Lynn Cope Conroy (BSC '77) to empower the next generation of women in science to achieve academic and professional success. A committee comprised of representatives from the Faculty of Science selects recipients annually, normally each winter term. The scholarship value varies and is awarded in addition to the minimum funding the student may already be receiving.
