Diversity Champions in Engineering Scholarship Application Form

Description:

Diversity is a critical driver of innovation, and leads to more robust problem‐solving and creativity in engineering design. Diversity Champions exemplify passion and commitment to diversity and inclusivity, and take action to create an environment where our unique backgrounds, experiences, and points‐of‐view are valued. Diversity Champions serve as models of excellence, and catalysts for positive change. They promote awareness, lead by example, and support those around them. The Schulich School of Engineering is committed to advancing diversity and supporting a positive learning experience for all, including female and Indigenous students.
