One or more scholarships, of at least $2,000 and to a maximum of $4,000 each are awarded to academically outstanding undergraduate or graduate students in the Faculty of Science who have:

  1. An international research opportunity. The opportunity needs to be a research collaboration between UVic and an international academic, industry or government research entity;
  2. Been recommended by their advisor and/or department chair; and

Whose advisor and/or department chair and international collaborator have both committed funding to the student's research opportunity.

Applicants must provide:

Documentation that itemizes the cost of the trip and verifies other levels of support, and b) A letter of support from the advisor and/or department chair.

Preference will be given to students, with first preference to undergraduates, who have demonstrated a commitment to knowledge translation through one of:

  1. A presentation at a departmental or research centre symposium or colloquium;
  2. Participation in a faculty/UVic wide presentation event, such as HonoursFest, IdeasFest or JCURA; or

The application forms are available from the Science Dean's Office and are to be submitted by April 30th. The entire budget must not be allocated to one student and the amount of the award(s) should be around the same as the amount of funding that has been committed by the department chair and international collaborator.
