Crystal Hoang Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'm interested in applying for the NSERC USRA program at a few universities (UofWaterloo,Queens, etc..), but I'm just not sure about how students get paid? I'm sure it depends on the university you go to, but the schools I'm applying to aren't my institution so I have to think about living expenses and I'm confused about how they distribute the award. I'm new to this forum and I tried reading on their website, but I still don't understand the financial part, so thank you to those who can answer my question.

cw2lu4 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 You get paid $4500 from NSERC all at once in the form of a scholarship. Your supervisor will top that off with however much money he/she wants. I did my NSERC USRA at UWaterloo and I got $2500 from my supervisor, paid once a month for 4 months. With regards to your other question, your grades are very important. They look at your percentage grade, not your GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
