Irene Marguerite McLeod Postgraduate Scholarship

This scholarship has been established by Dr. Norman W. McLeod, FRSC, in honour of his wife, Irene Marguerite McLeod. It is awarded annually, if suitable candidates exist, for postgraduate research in specific areas of civil engineering and transportation. The scholarship prioritizes research in three areas in order of preference: bituminous materials including recycling; flexible pavement design; and any phase of land transportation by vehicles, excluding railroads. The recipient will normally be a graduate student in the Transport Group of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Students are automatically selected by the Faculty or Department, and the award is available to both Canadian/permanent residents and international students with study permits pursuing master's or doctoral degrees.
