2014 Nanofellowship Competition NOW OPEN
The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology has
announced the 2014 competition for Nanofellowships. Waterloo Institute for
Nanotechnology (WIN) fellowships are awarded to graduate students pursuing
nanotechnology research at the University Waterloo. Fellowships in
Nanotechnology are valued at CDN $10,000 each. This fellowship funding is on
top of the research assistantship support from the supervising faculty member.
Fellowships can be held simultaneously with other
graduate awards (subject to the requirements of other scholarships/awards).
These prestigious fellowships are open to new graduate applicants and current
graduate students who have a minimum of two terms remaining in their program.
Applicants must satisfy the general eligibility requirements for the University
of Waterloo graduate scholarships. These Fellowships are awarded to top
graduate students pursuing nanotechnology research at the University of
Waterloo (UW).
HOW TO
APPLY:
Complete the Nanofellowship application form
(submit completed form as LastName_FirstName.pdf to nanofellowship@uwaterloo.ca with
subject line: Nanofellowship Application); and
Arrange for two electronic letters of reference to
be sent directly to the WIN office (download the Reference Form from
uwaterloo.ca/institute-nanotechnology/students/nanofellowships and fill out the
“Applicant’s Information” section before sending a copy to each of your
referees.)
All documents including the reference letters must be received
electronically at WIN by Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Late applications

The University of Waterloo has profound strengths
in nanotechnology. The campus is home to world-class researchers, flagship
research facilities, and Canada’s largest nanotechnology engineering
undergraduate degree program. The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN)
is headquartered in the new $160M Quantum-Nano Centre (QNC) opened in September
2012, where faculty and graduate students have access to state-of-the-art tools
and infrastructure for research at the nanoscale. Attracting outstanding new
faculty, students and research personnel, fostering new national and
international partnerships, enhancing collaborations, and enabling research at
the forefront of science and engineering, WIN is becoming a global centre of
excellence for nanotechnology and its applications.
Nanofellowships
These Fellowships are awarded to top graduate
students pursuing nanotechnology research at the University of Waterloo (UW).
Since 2008 the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has awarded 200
Nanofellowships to Canadian and international students with outstanding
academic qualifications and research potential. These prestigious fellowships
valued at $10,000 each are awarded to new graduate applicants and current MSc
and PhD students and supplement the Research Assistantship support provided by
the supervising faculty member (since the minimum support level for a PhD
student is $20,000 per year, a Nanofellowship holder will receive a total of at
least $30,000). To be considered for the Nanofellowship competition, you must:
Complete the Nanofellowship application form
(submit completed form as LastName_FirstName.pdf to nanofellowship@uwaterloo.ca with subject line: Nanofellowship
Application); and
Arrange for two electronic letters of reference to
be sent directly to the WIN office (download the Reference Form from uwaterloo.ca/institute-nanotechnology/students/nanofellowships
and fill out the “Applicant’s Information” section before sending a copy to
each of your referees.)
All documents including the reference letters must be
received electronically at WIN by Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Late applications
will not be accepted.
The notification of decision will be made in
September 2014. All awardees must hold an active graduate student status at the
University of Waterloo to be eligible to receive a Nanofellowship. Please
review the Nanofellowship Program Guide carefully before applying.
For prospective graduate students, please note that
the Nanofellowship application DOES NOT replace the regular admission procedure
for Graduate Studies at the University of Waterloo. A separate online Graduate
Application is required. For more information on general admission at UW,
please visit grad.uwaterloo.ca.
