Michael Houston Memorial Scholarship

One scholarship, valued at up to $2,500, is awarded annually to an outstanding undergraduate student entering first-year studies in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. This fund is made possible by memorial donations from family and friends of Michael Houston, a former professor in the Department of Kinesiology. He was a dedicated teacher and an international scholar in exercise physiology who played a key role in helping define the discipline of kinesiology as it was emerging in the 1960s until his death in 2008. The scholarship recognizes academic excellence in incoming students pursuing studies in kinesiology and health sciences.
