Janet E.A. McDougall Graduate Scholarship in Pharmacy

The Janet E.A. McDougall Graduate Scholarship in Pharmacy provides scholarships valued at up to $15,000 annually to full-time graduate students enrolled in the master's or doctoral program in the School of Pharmacy in the Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo. Selection is based on academic excellence with a minimum cumulative average of 80% or equivalent in their current program or over the last two full-time academic years, combined with a passion for improving medication, health outcomes, and/or health-related issues as demonstrated through a combination of research, community engagement and/or professional practice. Interested students must submit an application supported by up to two references, a CV, and a letter (maximum 2 pages) that outlines their goals and demonstrated commitment to improving health. Preference is given to students from diverse backgrounds who bring unique perspectives to their work and research. The School of Pharmacy Graduate Studies and Research Committee selects recipients each Spring, and this award is provided in addition to any minimum funding the student may already be receiving. This fund was made possible by a donation from Lynne Howarth in memory of Janet McDougall. Applications can be found on the School of Pharmacy website and must be submitted to the Administrative Coordinator, Graduate Studies, School of Pharmacy by April 1.
