You can receive up to $80,000 over eight academic terms, which works out to $10,000 per academic term from 1A through 4B. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an international fee-paying student who wants to pursue your passion for science and want to make a meaningful impact as a scientist. The most recent deadline was February 13, 2026, and that window has closed. Check the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science scholarships page for the next deadline, and ask how and when you will hear back. University of Waterloo chooses up to 10 winners based on your academic excellence and your application statements. You must meet the minimum admission average for your specific program to be considered. Since the exact number of applicants isn't published, ask University of Waterloo how many people typically apply so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Waterloo during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. To keep this scholarship after your first year, you must remain enrolled full-time in a Faculty of Science degree program and continue paying international tuition fees. You also need to maintain an 80% overall cumulative average each term.
You qualify if you are an international fee-paying student entering Year One of any full-time undergraduate degree program in the Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo (the Waterloo Medical Sciences/SGU Doctor of Medicine pathway is excluded). Scholarships are awarded only after you receive an offer of admission. You must meet the minimum admission average required by your specific program.
