The Faculty of Science of the University of Ottawa offers 16 Undergraduate Research Scholarships of $10,000 each.
 
Unique to the Faculty of Science
 
The Undergraduate Research Scholarship gives students the opportunity to live a very unique experience. The recipients work with scientists and take part in important scientific discoveries before they even start their studies.

They can also expand their research experience and contribution the following summer (May, June, July and August) if they do well in their first year of studies. They will earn $6,250 for the second summer employment.
 
Various research domains
 
Assistantships are available in various areas of medicine and science: biochemistry, biology, biopharmaceutical science, biotechnology, chemistry, environmental science, geology, immunology, mathematics and statistics, microbiology, neurology, pharmacology, physics, physiology, virology.
