We're here to support you! Waterloo awarded approximately $17 million in scholarships and bursaries offered in year one. While entrance bursaries require an application, you’re automatically considered for most entrance scholarships at Waterloo.
Visit the UWaterloo website for more info on awards.
By far, the most common way that Waterloo students get experience is through co-operative education or “co-op". In co-op you get to try up to six different jobs, gain up to two years of paid work experience, and build a network of professional connections. Waterloo students have the potential to earn between $9,000 to $16,000 per term on a first work term, with the opportunity to earn more each term as they gain experience. In the first six months after graduation, co-op grads are way ahead of the competition. They typically have higher employment rates AND wages. in total co-op earnings over five to six co-op terms.
Bursaries and government loans are typically available only to students who are Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents and eligible for the Ontario Student Assistant Program (OSAP).
You should check with your high school, alumni association, national and local governments, and the Canadian Embassy, Consulate, or High Commission in your home country to see what other scholarships, loans, and grants are available for students studying abroad.
