Undergraduate Student Research Initiative
The Undergraduate Student Research Initiative (USRI), an initiative of the General Faculty Council’s Standing Committee on Scholarly Activity, provides funding to MacEwan students to support them in conducting their own research and creative activities, as well as disseminating their findings.
The USRI helps to promote student-led, faculty-mentored scholarship at MacEwan and is guided by the institution’s strategic vision.
Past recipients
Since the USRI grants were established, many students have had the opportunity to explore their research passion. Find out which proposals received funding.
