Scholarship Overview
The Cotton Family Women in Mathematics Graduate Scholarship will be awarded annually to a full-time female graduate student enrolled in a Master’s or Doctoral program in the Faculty of Mathematics based on academic excellence in their studies and/or research. The value of the award will be determined by the income generated by the fund each year, however, the goal is to provide at least one award valued at $3,000 annually.
The award is made possible by a $100,000 donation from Cathy and Paul Cotton to assist female Waterloo scholars in their pursuit of advanced degrees in mathematics.
