The Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Foundation established these scholarships as an homage to former Waterloo President David Johnston in celebration of his 11-year service to the institution and his dedication to providing international opportunities for students.
Description of the award:
Each year, several grants are given to full-time undergraduate and graduate students from any faculty who engage in an international experience in Israel. This includes participating in a minimally-paid or voluntary co-op work placement, a volunteer placement, or a study term that fulfills academic requirements. The awards range in value from $2,500 to $10,000 apiece and will be granted based on academic performance as well as the kind and length of the experience.
