University of Waterloo Vahlenkamp Memorial Engineering Scholarship 2025

One scholarship, valued at $2,000, is awarded annually to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in Year Three in the Faculty of Engineering on the basis of academic achievement (minimum 80%) and extracurricular and volunteer involvement. Preference will be given to students who identify as women who are first generation Canadians. Heinz W.Vahlenkamp, Dipl.-Ing., P.Eng.

This annual award is to be presented in remembrance of a man who believed in integrity, hard work, and in the ethics of the Engineering field. This fund is made possible through the generosity of his wife, Ruth Vahlenkamp, and his daughter Sabine Schleese in grateful memory and love for an exceptional husband, father and engineer.
