Doctoral Thesis Completion Awards

Applicants must:

be registered full time in a PhD program

be in good academic standing with a realistic plan of completing their degree within 1-2 terms of receiving the award (term of award plus one additional term)

not have previously received this award

be in program extension

Only doctoral students who are no longer receiving minimum funding and/or have experienced research interruptions that were beyond their control will be eligible for this funding.

A change of enrolment status to part-time, inactive, withdrawal or degree completion during the term in which the award is paid will require repayment of all or part of the award. Repayment amounts are recalculated based on the University of Waterloo tuition refund policy. Any inquiries regarding OSAP/provincial student loans should be directed to the Student Awards and Financial Aid Office.
