The Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation (LTSI) assists in the administration of three undergraduate student awards.

  • Valerie Kuehne Undergraduate Research Awards (VKURA): provides an opportunity for first year undergraduate students to gain research-enriched and applied experiences in their discipline or field of study. Students gain first-hand experience in planning and undertaking research or creative works.  
  • Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Awards (JCURA): encourages third and fourth year undergraduate students to pursue innovative and original research. 
  • 3M Student Fellowship Award: honours up to ten full-time undergraduate students at Canadian institutions who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their lives and at their university.
