This section outlines the various opportunities that are offered to Bishop’s University students who wish to get involved in academic research.
Scholarship and Funding Opportunities
Merit Scholarship Program for Foreign Students (PBEEE)
Graduate Research Scholarships
Support for scholarships will be available up until two weeks prior to a competition deadline based on the availability of the staff of the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
Research Assistantships
Undergraduate students at Bishop’s University may have the opportunity to work as research assistants on research projects led by faculty members.
Working as a research assistant provides students with a unique opportunity to discover the world of research early on in their academic careers, and is a helpful stepping stone for moving on to graduate studies and applying for graduate scholarships.
Speak with the faculty members of your program to seek the opportunities!
