[Cs-second-year] NSERC USRA (Undergraduate Student Research Awards)

[Sara Willemse]

Good Afternoon,



This email is to inform you of the USRA (Undergraduate Student Research Awards) Summer NSERC program, a paid research opportunity for this summer.



Who can successfully apply?

-You must be Canadian

-You must have a minimum average of 80%

-You can be in your 4th year of study

-A CS Faculty Supervisor (you will need to contact them directly)



These positions are 16 weeks in length starting on May 1st and ending August 31st with the award having a value of $8680.



Over the next couple of weeks it is your responsibility to contact your own Computer Science Faculty member to see if they would take you on for this program.



The transcript you attach to your application must meet the following requirements:

  *   Your name, the university's name and the program in which you're enrolled appear
  *   Grades up to December 31st of the year preceding the award are included



Western's "Academic Record" format meets NSERC's transcript requirements. (N.B. students can't access the Academic Record on their own; transcripts such as those printed from a student's account do not meet NSERC's requirements as there is insufficient identifying information.)



If you are undertaking a USRA at Western but your home university is different, you must attach an official transcript from your home university to your online application, including the legend.



You cannot submit your application without this transcript therefore you cannot submit until after January 3rd when I have given you the academic record.



Please contact Sara Willemse (sstraat at uwo.ca<mailto:sstraat at uwo.ca>) directly about interest in the program as well as with the name of your supervisor and she will note that an academic record is needed for your application come January. The earlier you contact Sara the better, but the deadline to be considered is Thursday, January 24th, 2023.



Kindly,





[Western University]
