  • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada: Undergraduate Student Research Awards (NSERC USRA) 
    • USRAs are meant to nurture your interest and fully develop your potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE). They are also meant to encourage you to undertake graduate studies in these fields by providing research work experience that complements your studies in an academic setting. NSERC encourages qualified Indigenous students to apply for this award.
