Marie Curie Graduate Student Award (Marie Curie GSA)

The Marie Curie Graduate Student Award, valued at a maximum of $20,000 per year, is available to graduate students registered full-time in a research-based master's or doctoral program in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo. Students are automatically considered for this award throughout their eligibility period and nominated, without the need for application, by their programs to the Graduate Committee, Department of Physics and Astronomy. This award is administered in conjunction with the Science Graduate Award (SGA), recognizing Physics and Astronomy's unique recruitment needs in alignment with departmental strategic objectives. Within the context of overall funding for Physics and Astronomy graduate students, the award is granted to a selected group of students. The amount awarded per student is variable to a maximum of $20,000 annually. The number of awards granted is constrained by the annual operating budget for this award provided by the Dean of Science, and value of awards provided to the recipients.
