VIU's NSERC Awards Selection Committee

This Committee administers student scholarships and awards granted to VIU from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Each year VIU receives a quota from NSERC to nominate students for two awards: the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship - Master's award (PGS-M); and the Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) program. It is mandated that VIU conduct an internal selection process for both awards.
