The UBC Healthy Aging Summer Student Research Awards are intended to support highly qualified undergraduate students from all disciplines and faculties who are interested in completing a research project that is relevant to the field of healthy aging. The award supports the student’s salary while they complete the research project over the summer (May to August 2025) under the supervision of a faculty member of the Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging.
This award is open to undergraduate students from all disciplines, including those enrolled in undergraduate health professional degree programs (e.g. MD, DMD, BScN, etc.).
The duration of the award is 8 to 16 consecutive weeks of full-time work (35 hours/week) to be completed between May 1 to August 31, 2025. The award value will be $609.00 CAD per week (based on the BC minimum wage). Students enrolled at any university may apply but must reside in B.C. for the duration of the award.
The deadline to apply is January 17th, 2025. All questions regarding the application criteria and process should be addressed to the Research Director of the ELCHA, Dr. Kim Schmidt, at kim.schmidt@ubc.ca.
