Mastercard Award in Cyber Security

University of Victoria
Award
$10,000
Due Date !
February 15 - April 30

Two awards of $10,000 each are given to undergraduate students entering third year in the software engineering program in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and who are specializing in cyber security. Preference is given first to women students, then to members of other groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity. The scholarship will be renewed at a value of $5,000 for students continuing into fourth year in cyber security specialization. To be automatically renewed a student must have completed a total of 12 or more graded units in any two terms of study between May and April and maintained a grade point average of 6.0/9.0 or higher on the best 12 graded units. The award may only be renewed once. A student whose grade point average falls below 6.0/9.0 may file a written appeal with the Senate Committee on Awards to seek special consideration for the renewal of the scholarship. Students registered in a co-op or work experience work term will automatically be renewed when they next complete 12 or more graded units in two terms, provided they have a grade point average of 6.0/9.0 or higher in the two terms. Any student who takes neither a co-op, work experience work-term or academic units for more than one term may forfeit their award. Selection of the recipients is made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. Members of groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity, including, but not limited to,  First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, and all other Indigenous peoples;  members of groups that commonly experience discrimination due to race, ancestry, colour, religion and/or spiritual beliefs, or place of origin;  persons with visible and/or invisible (physical and/or mental) disabilities;  persons who identify as women; and  persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
