NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) provides Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) to fund student researchers in the natural sciences and engineering fields. These awards are meant to support undergraduate students who seek the experience of research work and may go on to complete their graduate studies.
