W.K. Thomas Graduate Scholarship

The W.K. Thomas Graduate Scholarship is an annual award provided to graduate students in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Waterloo. One scholarship with a value of at least $1,800 is awarded each year to a full-time graduate student registered in the Faculty of Arts. The scholarship recognizes academic excellence and requires a minimum cumulative average of 80% in the current program. Recipients are selected automatically by the Department of English Language and Literature without requiring a specific scholarship application. The award is typically granted in the Fall term and is open to both Canadian/permanent resident students and international students on study permits. Selection is based solely on academic merit, with the department identifying candidates and selecting recipients based on their outstanding academic performance.
