From: Serge DAlessio Date: Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 12:14 AM Subject: Michael & Ophelia Lazaridis Olympiad Scholarship To: [email protected] Dear IMO/IOI Contact: Apologies in advance if you are not the contact person (please forward to the contact person if possible). My name is Serge DAlessio and Im the Associate Dean in charge of Undergrad Admissions for the Faculty of Mathematics at the Univeristy of Waterloo in Canada (faculty website - math.uwaterloo.ca/). The purpose of this email is to inform you of our Michael & Ophelia Lazaridis Olympiad Scholarship that we have available to students who were medal winners at the IMO or IOI (either gold, silver or bronze) in 2014, or earlier, and who will be starting university in the fall of 2015. This is a full cost scholarship that the Faculty of Mathematics is pleased to offer. This scholarship is open to all students (domestic and international) and all interested, eligible students are encouraged to apply. The application form is available online at: math.uwaterloo.ca/…/funding-an…/entrance-scholarships The application deadline is February 9, 2015. The application form also applies to other Math Faculty Scholarships. Thus, if a qualified student is not successful with the Olympiad Scholarship they will automatically be considered for other scholarships. The Olympiad Scholarship covers the following expenses for eight academic terms: full tuition, accommodations, a full meal plan, textbooks and also incidental fees. Eligible students need to apply to the Faculty of Mathematics and must meet our admissions requirements as well as our English language requirement (please visit: math.uwaterloo.ca/math/future-undergraduates/applying for more details). This will be an ongoing opportunity for qualified students for the next several years. In the past two years we are very pleased to have 8 medal winners in our Faculty. If you are aware of students that may be interested please feel free to pass this information along, or have them contact me directly. We offer many interesting and challenging programs in Mathematics and Computer Science which will interest high calibre students. Most of our programs are offered in two modes of study: regular and co-op. In the co-op mode students will begin their first paid work term after completing two academic terms (8 months). Once co-op begins, students will alternate between study and work terms until graduation. Co-op provides students with up to 2 years of paid professional work experience which will allow them to see what awaits them in the job market. It also adds 1 year to the length of their studies, 4 years & 8 months instead of 3 years & 8 months as for the regular mode of study. Some students who know they want to go to graduate school choose the regular mode since it takes less time to complete their undergraduate degree. In the end, it is a personal choice based on whether or not students see enough value in the work experience component. Academically, the co-op and regular modes o f study are identical. Any assistance you can provide in helping us identify potential recipients for the coming 2015 academic year would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me should you have any questions. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Serge DAlessio.
