Undergraduate Student Research Awards

Undergraduate Science Student Research Awards

The following award programs fund undergraduate student research projects at McGill (and sometimes off-campus), usually in the summer.

Please also consult mcgill.ca/science/research/undergraduate-research for any new programs that may have been added.

NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards

NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Undergraduate Student Research Awards (NSERC USRA) in Universities program supports 16 consecutive weeks of paid full-time research in natural sciences and engineering disciplines, under the supervision of a professor. It is an excellent way to prepare for graduate studies or a future career in science. This program is also offered at other universities across Canada.

To apply, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Please refer to mcgill.ca/science/research/undergraduate-research/nserc for more information.

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

Science Undergraduate Research Awards—SURAs—support a full-time summer research project under the supervision of a McGill science professor. SURAs are made possible by funding from generous donors, participating research supervisors, and the Faculty of Science. SURAs are similar to the NSERC USRA; three differences are that international students may apply, not only Canadians; SURAs can support projects in social science or medical science, not only natural science or engineering; and SURAs are only for B.Sc. and B.A. & Sc. students (B.A. students may wish to look into programs offered by the Faculty of Arts).

Please refer to mcgill.ca/science/research/undergraduate-research/sura for more information.
