Math Provost Doctoral Entrance Award for Women

The Math Provost Doctoral Entrance Award for Women is an entrance scholarship offered through the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Mathematics. The main purpose of this award is to provide outstanding full-time female doctoral students (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or students on a study permit) an entrance scholarship in the amount of $5,000 for one year. The award is normally paid across two terms. Eligible students must have first-class (80%) standing, as well as an outstanding record of research accomplishments and/or references citing significant future potential in research. The student must be willing to compete for all external awards for which she is eligible and must aspire to pursue a career in higher education and research. The award is available for doctoral students in Mathematics programs including Applied Mathematics, Combinatorics & Optimization, Computational Mathematics, Computer Science, Mathematics for Teachers, Pure Mathematics, and Statistics & Actuarial Science. Students are selected automatically by the Faculty/Department and no separate application is required.
