The Leslie Woo Entrance Scholarship for Women in STEM is awarded annually by the University of Waterloo to a full-time undergraduate student who identifies as a woman, enrolled in Year One of a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics program in which women are underrepresented. The scholarship is valued at $2,000 and is awarded on the basis of academic excellence with a minimum admission average of 80%. No application is required as eligible students are automatically considered at the time of admission. This fund was made possible by a generous donation from Leslie Woo, a graduate of the Bachelor of Architecture program at the University of Waterloo in 1984, to inspire and reward women students who pursue higher education in STEM fields.

The University of Waterloo is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities, located in Waterloo, Ontario, and consistently ranked among the top universities in the country and globally. The university is deeply committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and actively works to increase the representation and success of women in STEM disciplines.
