Women in Business Scholarship
The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship is a major scholarship opportunity for both undergraduate and graduate female students in business. This scholarship is eligible for women pursuing a business or business-related program who demonstrate outstanding potential in the field. Particularly, the awards committee is looking for female students with an outstanding academic record and have demonstrated initiative, ambition and commitment to pursuing a career in business. In the past years, there have been not just one, but three winners, as the SAF is proud to say that a few years ago a former SAF student, Nina Zhang, won this award at an international level. Furthermore, the honor came back to a student in the SAF when Aidan Kay (Math/CPA) recently won in 2015 and Catherine Zheng (Math/CA and MAcc 2013), who won previously in 2013. “Waterloo students have a history of winning this award" - Prof. Sproule
