8th Edition of the Order of the White Rose Scholarship: Sophia Roy Awarded $30,000  from Polytechnique Montréal

December 5, 2022

Montréal - Taking action to fight the environmental crisis: this is what sparked Sophia Roy's interest in engineering. Today the outstanding student was awarded the $30,000 Order of the White Rose Scholarship. The presentation ceremony, which was attended by Pascale Déry, the Minister of Higher Education, followed a moving commemoration of the tragic event that occurred on December 6, 1989. After completing a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at McGill University, Ms. Roy was admitted directly to a PhD program in the same field at Polytechnique Montréal, where she is studying steel decarbonization methods. Every year, Polytechnique's senior administration awards the Order of the White Rose Scholarship to a female Canadian engineering student who hopes to pursue graduate studies at the university of her choice, in Canada or elsewhere in the world.
