Tao Shang Award

An award, valued at $2,000, will be provided annually to a full-time undergraduate student entering Year One of any program in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. Selection is based on academic achievement with a minimum 80% admission average combined with extracurricular involvement and participation in volunteer activities. This fund is made possible by a donation from Dr. Jiali Shang in loving memory of her paternal grandfather, Tao Shang, a medical doctor, to inspire the next generation of students. The award is an entrance scholarship designed to support students beginning their undergraduate studies in environmental programs including Climate and Environmental Change, Environment and Business, Geography and Environmental Management, Geomatics, International Development, Knowledge Integration, and Planning among others.
