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 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 2014, 1,147 students were nominated, forty of whom were selected for the scholarship by one of the twenty participating universities.[6]

Selection Process - Canada

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 two. To be eligible for the scholarship, nominees must 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 $80,000 CAD, while the second scholarship, allocated to a student in one of the other three STEM disciplines, has a $60,000 CAD value.[8]

Selection Process - Israel

In addition to the Canadian program, Schulich Leader Scholarships is being carried out at five participating universities in Israel.[9]

In Israel, nominees are evaluated based on similar attributes: volunteerism, academic standing, and financial need.[10] Unlike students chosen through the Canadian program, Israeli Schulich Leaders are required to complete 120 hours of volunteering each year while they hold the scholarship, in addition to attending enrichment sessions.[11]

Each university selects seven Schulich Leaders annually: four engineer-based Leaders and three science, technology or mathematics-based Leaders.[12]
