The David Johnston International Experience Awards were established through the generous support of the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Foundation in honor of former Waterloo President David Johnston, as a lasting tribute to his 11-year service to this university and in recognition of his passion for international opportunities for students.
Several awards are provided annually to full-time undergraduate and graduate students in any Faculty who participate in an international experience in Israel, including a minimally-paid or volunteer co-op work placement, a volunteer placement, or a study term related to academic requirements. Award selection will take place once per term. Students should apply as soon as they are able to confirm the details of their intended experience.
