Master of Mathematics for Teachers (MMT) Indigenous Scholarship

Up to three scholarships will be awarded annually to students entering into the Master of Mathematics for Teachers (MMT) program at the University of Waterloo. Each scholarship is valued at a maximum of $15,000 and is designed to cover the full cost of tuition and incidental fees while the student is registered in the MMT program. In order to be considered for the scholarship, candidates must be active mathematics teachers, demonstrate a strong connection to an Indigenous community, and show an ability to impact Indigenous students. Preference will be given to Indigenous candidates, defined as citizens or members of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis, and/or Inuit as defined in the Canadian Constitution Act 1982. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents who teach mathematics at a school in Canada. The scholarship aims to support Indigenous educators pursuing advanced mathematics teaching credentials while maintaining connections to their communities and demonstrating commitment to impacting Indigenous students.
