The Dean’s Undergraduate Student Summer Research Pivot Fellowship recognizes academic merit and is intended to support research projects where students are co-supervised (i.e., collaborative projects between two faculty members where at least one faculty member must be from U of T FASE).
Existing collaborative projects are eligible; however, preference will be given to new collaborations. Supervisors must be faculty members. Post-doctoral fellows and graduate students will not be considered as co-supervisors.
These awards are open to all undergraduate Engineering students (domestic and international).
