Scholarships and financial aid

In recognition of outstanding students, UVic awards more than 5 million dollars in Entrance and In-Course Scholarships each year. Scholarships are non-repayable and are awarded to students on the basis of academic merit or excellence.

Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Awards (JCURA)

JCURA was started in 2009-10 as the Undergraduate Research Scholarship program by the Vice-President Academic and Provost. The program, designed to provide support for exceptional undergraduate students who might otherwise not be able to have direct research experience, is administered by the Learning and Teaching Centre on behalf of the Provost's Office. Eligible students include all full-time third and fourth-year undergraduate students in excellent academic standing. Award winners complete a research project under the mentorship of a faculty supervisor. Successful student applicants receive $1,500 credited directly to their UVic account. JCURA details and how to apply.
