Isaac Newton Chair Graduate Research Scholarship

The Isaac Newton Chair Graduate Research Scholarship is awarded to University of Waterloo graduate students and visiting graduate students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Award recipients work under the supervision of a University of Waterloo faculty member at the Perimeter Institute (PI) and are resident at PI. Students may be nominated by a faculty member at PI who is also a faculty member at the University of Waterloo. A selection committee consisting of the holder of the Isaac Newton Chair at the Perimeter Institute, the Director of Academic Programs at Perimeter, and the Director of Guelph-Waterloo Physics Institute chooses the award winners. Recipients are selected on the basis of their potential for enhancing the research programs of the Institute and of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The award value and duration vary depending on costs of tuition and fees, and any other funding received by the student.
