The University of Waterloo offers a variety of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Entrance scholarships are automatically considered for incoming students based on academic excellence, with amounts ranging from $1,000 to $40,000. Faculty-specific scholarships target students in particular disciplines like engineering, math, or science.
Graduate students can access scholarships such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) or Waterloo-specific awards like the President’s Graduate Scholarship. External scholarships, including those from organizations like NSERC or CIHR, are also available.
