If you have the brain for calculations and numbers, I admire you—no, I envy you. How are you so smart?

And because of that admiration, I feel towards you, I am introducing you to this golden opportunity for you to showcase your brainpower and get a scholarship out of it! (See? I truly admire you.)

The University of Waterloo (weird name, I know, just continue reading) is offering an entrance scholarship to undergraduate students enrolled in any program in the Faculty of Mathematics, who have preferably participated (and performed spectacularly) in either the Euclid Mathematics Contest and/or the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest.

If you would humour me and read to the end, I will gently break down all the details of the University of Waterloo Mathematics National Grants, so you, my dear math whiz, can go on to apply and succeed.
