NSERC USRA Competition – Summer 2018

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is a federal agency responsible for promoting and supporting research in the natural sciences and engineering, other than the health sciences.

The objective of the Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) program is to provide research work experience for students to complement their degree program and encourage them to consider graduate studies and/or a research career.

Students wishing to enter the Summer 2018 NSERC USRA competition are advised to read the all of the information presented below, and Concordia staff, professors, and research supervisors are strongly encouraged to do so as well.

The deadline for students to apply, and for USRA supervisors to submit their Form 202 Part II, is Thursday February 1st 2018.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for and hold a USRA, you must:

  • Be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident of Canada as of February 1st 2018,
  • Be registered in a Bachelor’s degree,
  • Have a Cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 (“B” average),
  • Have in place a faculty member who will supervise your research. The faculty member must hold an active NSERC research grant (e.g., Discovery, CREATE, Strategic, Research Partnerships, etc.), either at the time you submit the application or when you hold the award.

In addition, you must:

  • Have completed all of the course requirements of at least the first year of University study towards your Bachelor’s degree (or two academic terms),
  • Have been registered in the Fall 2017 and/or Winter 2018 semesters,
  • Not have started a program of graduate studies in the natural sciences or engineering at any time,
  • Be engaged in full-time research and development activities in the natural sciences or engineering on university premises during the tenure of the USRA.

Furthermore:

  • You may hold only one USRA per fiscal year (May 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019);
  • You may hold a maximum of three NSERC USRAs throughout your university career;
  • You are permitted to take a maximum of 1 (one) course during the USRA period, only if your supervisor approves.

Enrollment in more than one course during the USRA period risks rejection of the candidate’s eligibility by NSERC!

Value

The USRA has a basic value of $5,625.00 ($4,500.00 from NSERC plus a contribution of $1,125.00 from Concordia/your department).

Project Hero Scholarship

Concordia University is pleased to be the first institution in Québec to support the Project Hero Scholarship initiative.

Project Hero is an initiative started by Kevin Reed who was recently appointed honorary lieutenant-colonel of 31 Service Brigade, an army reserve unit headquartered in London, Ontario. Mr. Reed was inspired by the work of former Chief of Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, (Retired) now Chancellor of Memorial University, and approached him about starting a program which would provide a scholarship or tuition waiver for the children of Canadian Forces staff who were killed while on active duty. Mr. Hillier was quick to embrace the idea.

Candidates for the Project Hero Scholarship must:
– Be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident,
– Be aged 26 years or younger,
– Be a dependent child of Canadian Forces personnel deceased while serving in an active mission (operational mission or training for such a mission dating back to February 2002 for both theatres of combat and peacekeeping missions).

The scholarship is intended to assist with tuition expenses, and is available to full-time students enrolled in Bachelor’s programs meeting all of the above-stated criteria. The scholarship is renewable on the basis of continuing full-time enrollment and a minimum GPA of 3.30. Candidates wishing to be considered for this award must contact Doug Gardhouse, Undergraduate Awards Manager (Financial Aid and Awards Office).
