The 2025 Summer Studentship Competition is Now Closed.
Annual Undergraduate Studentship Awards - $5,000 CAD:
Payment of awards will be administered through the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute (BHCRI) in partnership with the successful candidate’s academic institution. Students may hold other awards in combination with this award; however, the project must be the same, and the total of all awards will be a maximum of $7500.00. The studentship will start after April 01, and run for fourteen consecutive weeks. Supervisors will provide a top-up of a minimum of $2500 to ensure trainees receive funding above their provincial minimum wage. Please review the minimum wage guidelines for your province and calculate the amount accordingly.
