Thiruchelvam Scholarship for Women in Technology

A scholarship, valued at $1,200, will be awarded annually to a full-time undergraduate student who identifies as a woman entering Year One of any program in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo wherein women are underrepresented. Selection will be based on academic excellence, the Admission Information Form, and contest scores as assessed through CEMC. This fund is made possible by a donation from Anusha Shanmugarajah (BMath '01) to honour her father who encouraged her to pursue a career in technology. The scholarship is designed to support and encourage women pursuing undergraduate studies in computer science and technology fields where they are traditionally underrepresented. The award is given as an entrance scholarship, meaning it is available to students entering their first year of study. No separate application is required as selection is automatic based on admission materials.
