The Schulich Leader Scholarships is a Canadian and Israeli undergraduate award program that provides scholarships for students enrolled in STEM areas of study. Established in 2011 following a $100 million gift from Canadian businessman and philanthropist Seymour Schulich[2] and co-administered by the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto,[3] the program was initiated with the goal of producing STEM leaders to strengthen the economic competitiveness of Canada and Israel.[4] In the inaugural year, 977 high schools and CÉGEPs across Canada put forward a nominee to compete in the annual award competition.[5] In 2015, 1,250 students were nominated, fifty of whom were selected for the scholarship by one of the twenty participating universities.[6]
In Canada, all secondary schools may submit a single nominee for the award each year, with the exception of CÉGEPs in Québec, which may submit four. To be eligible for the scholarship, nominees must be entrepreneurial-minded and meet two out of three criteria: outstanding community, business or entrepreneurial leadership; academic excellence; and/or financial need.[7]
Choosing from the pool of nominees who have applied to their institution, each of twenty participating universities select two students to become Schulich Leader Scholarship recipients - one student pursuing undergraduate studies in engineering receives a scholarship valued at $120,000 CAD, while the second scholarship, allocated to a student in one of the other three STEM disciplines, has a $100,000 CAD value.[8] The five university partners that attract the most Nominee applications by deadline are provided an additional eight scholarships to offer: four towards engineering and four towards science and mathematics.[9]
In addition to the Canadian program, Schulich Leader Scholarships is being carried out at five participating universities in Israel.[10]
In Israel, nominees are evaluated based on similar attributes: leadership and volunteerism, academic standing, and financial need.[11]
Each university selects ten Schulich Leaders annually: five engineer-based Leaders and five science, technology or mathematics-based Leaders.[12]
The following university partners distribute Schulich Leader Scholarships:
