University of Regina FGSR's Undergraduate Research Award 2025

Building undergraduate students' research and creative competencies through experiential learning is a strategic priority of the University of Regina. These paid awards will provide extensive research experience leading to greater student excellence. Supervisors will provide mentorship, leadership and expertise involving the student's research. Whether it be working in a lab, immersive learning, creative inquiry or any other form of research-based learning, the goal is to create and/or further enhance our undergraduate research culture across the university by providing students with an opportunity to build research competencies and to celebrate undergraduate research success. The Faculty of Graduate Studies & Research Undergraduate Research Award (UGRA) will advance our inventory of undergraduate research experiences and provide undergraduate students with an enhanced experience in research and creative inquiries. Consideration may be given to Indigenous students and black heritage. Consideration may be given to the student’s grades over the past three semesters, but full/up to date transcripts MUST BE submitted.
