Application Support

Students are strongly encouraged to have URCA staff review their applications before submitting them. This will ensure everything is in order and give you the best chance at a successful application. Check out our Workshops page for more information about events to help you prepare your application. You may also make an appointment, email, or visit our office hours for additional support or to have your application checked prior to submission.

Group Projects

Students working in groups should each submit individual applications. It is expected and accepted that many components, like the abstract and timeline will be identical across group members, but the proposal should clearly identify how the submitting individual is specifically contributing to the group.
