PureFacts PureScholars Award in Mathematics

One award, valued at $5,000, will be provided to a deserving undergraduate student entering Year One of any co-op program in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Preference is given to students in Computer Science, Business Administration and Mathematics Double Degree, Business Administration and CS Double Degree, and Computing and Financial Management. Selection is based on a combination of academic excellence, community involvement as assessed through the Admission Information Form (AIF), contest scores as assessed through the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), and on demonstrated financial need as determined by Waterloo. This award is made possible by a donation from PureFacts Financial Solutions, a growing wealthtech company that provides global enterprise wealth management and asset management solutions for the financial services industry, founded by Robert Madej (BMath '92, MMath '94). Alongside this award comes the opportunity to participate in the PureScholars program at PureFacts. Program involvement may extend beyond the term of the financial award, and may include mentorship opportunities, internship information, and chances to connect with company leaders throughout the student's time at UWaterloo. Scholarship winners are encouraged but not obligated to participate in the PureScholars program. To be considered, students must complete the University of Waterloo Entrance Bursary application by April 15. The application form can be found on the Awards and financial aid tab in the Waterloo application portal. Access to the form is limited to Ontario students who will be studying on a full-time basis and who are applying to post-secondary studies for the first time.
