Ray and Naomi Simpson Scholarship*
One or more scholarships of at least $3,000 are awarded to academically outstanding second year students enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering program in electrical or mechanical engineering. If a student maintains a cumulative grade point average of 7.0 or better, the scholarship is automatically renewed upon entering the 3rd and the 4th years of the program.
A student whose grade point average falls between 6.50 and 6.99 may file a written appeal with the Dean of Engineering to seek special consideration for the renewal of the scholarship. No renewal will be considered if a student's average falls below 6.50. Preference will be given to a Canadian student first, secondly from Australia and/or New Zealand and if there are no available students from these countries then students from the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Approval of the recipients will be made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science.
