Maks Wulkan Graduate Scholarship

A scholarship, valued at up to $50,000, will be provided to one graduate student registered full-time in a doctoral program in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. The scholarship will be paid to the student in equal installments over the standard program length (12 terms), as long as they remain registered full-time. Selection is based on academic excellence with a minimum cumulative average of 80% or equivalent in their current or most recently completed graduate program, combined with an interest in human-factors engineering. This fund is made possible by a donation from Maks Wulkan, a proud engineering alum (BASc' 97 Electrical) who wants to support graduate students in their research. The Faculty of Engineering will identify candidates based on their application for admission, and preference will be given to students who do not concurrently hold a major scholarship exceeding $3,000 per term at the time of admission.
