NSERC USRA Undergraduate Student Research Awards

Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to stimulate your interest in research in the natural sciences and engineering.  They are also meant to encourage you to undertake graduate studies and pursue a research career in these fields.  If you would like to gain research work experience that complements your studies in an academic setting, these awards can provide you with financial support.
