Over the years, the white rose has become the symbol of Polytechnique Montréal’s commemorative activities. Therefore, to mark the 25th anniversary of the events of December 6, 1989, which cost the lives of 14 young women and injured several others, Polytechnique created the Order of the White Rose in tribute to the victims as well as the wounded, the families, the faculty members, the employees and the students who were forever affected by the tragedy.

This annual and non-renewable Canada-wide scholarship is awarded annually by the Polytechnique administration to a woman engineering student who wishes to enrol in graduate studies in engineering (master’s or PhD) at the institution of her choice, in Canada or elsewhere in the world.

To highlight the 150th anniversary of Polytechnique Montréal, the recipient student will now receive $50,000, which will be awarded for the 2023 edition and for future ones.

Inspiring ambassadors

Co-godmothers, Nathalie Provost, who was injured on December 6, 1989, and Michèle Thibodeau-DeGuire, the first woman to graduate in civil engineering from Polytechnique in 1963.
