Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Award (JCURA)

JCURA was established in 2009-10 as the Undergraduate Research Scholarship program by then Vice-President Academic and Provost, Dr. Jamie Cassels. It is designed to provide support for exceptional undergraduate students who might otherwise not be able to obtain a direct research experience as a part of what is a truly formative learning experience.

This award experience allows students to be mentored by a faculty supervisor. Successful student applicants receive $1,500 credited directly to their UVic fee account.

Meet our 2021-2022 JCURA recipients Sophie Sacilotto and Sarah Wald!
