About Elevate
The faculty has increased its undergraduate entrance scholarships for Black, Indigenous, and female students as well as for students who identify as non-binary [1] to $5,000 and topped them off with a guaranteed summer research position in the Faculty of Engineering following the completion of their first year. This is valued at an additional $10,000 and unique among Canadian universities. Together, with our alumni and community partners, we can enrich the student experience and allow us to continue to grow our expanding engineering programs.
