The gift of research. Made by you.

The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Undergraduate Student Research Awards support eligible undergraduate students to work full-time under supervision on a summer research project. Eligibility begins with a student’s desire to participate in faculty research, supported by an excellent academic record. AES USRAs extend eligibility to include international students registered full-time in one of our faculty programs. Students and supervisors come to an agreement for a 15 or 16 week full-time research project that complements the students program of study and opens up the opportunity to experience research lab activity first hand, as a member of the lab team. All AES USRAs have the same overall minimum total award value (derived from the award and the supervisor’s contribution).
