Departmental Awards are open to all MASc and PhD students within the funded cohort, unless otherwise specified. Each award may have different eligibility requirements which may include academic merit and financial need. Most award funds come from interest income of endowed funds generously donated from various sources.
Award Distribution
In cases where awards/scholarships are less than or equal to $3000 in value, the recipient's total annual funding is increased by the award/scholarship amount.
