The Scholarship

Awarded annually to students in Year 3 of the Electrical, Computer, Software or Mechatronic Systems Engineering program within Western Engineering or students in Year 4 of a combined BESc/HBA degree that includes Electrical, Computer, Software or Mechatronic Systems Engineering, based on academic achievement and an interest in pursuing a career in big data, technology, or software engineering. Students will be required to complete an application form in accordance with the deadline announced annually by Engineering (approx. September 30).

A limited number of applicants will be chosen to participate in an interview. Candidates must be Canadian citizens or eligible to work in Canada. A selection committee made up of representatives from the Faculty of Engineering will short list applicants for the scholarship. Short listed candidates will be interviewed by a representative of the Sponsor, a member of Undergraduate Services, Chair of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and the Director of the Software Engineering Program, or designate. Final selection of recipients will be made by the Faculty of Engineering.

Recipients will have an opportunity to interview for a work term or internship with the Sponsor in a technology position. Students are not guaranteed a work term or internship with the Sponsor. An offer of full-time employment with the Sponsor may also be extended pending successful completion of the program and work term. A recipient is not obligated to participate in the work term or accept employment with the Sponsor to receive the scholarship. This scholarship was established by RBC to promote and encourage students in STEM to pursue technology careers in banking.
