FIRST YEAR FRI SUMMER RESEARCH FUNDING
Many students can work with their research streams over the summer on fellowships or as a volunteer researcher. During this time, students expand their projects and are granted a higher degree of independence and responsibility, often working in lab without supervision. By working 20 or 40 hours a week it is possible for FRI students to get a head start on their projects and experience the life of a research scientist.
FRI Fellowship Information
- Stipend. Support can be for full or part time research placements, determined by the availability of each type of position in your stream.

- Half-time fellowships are $1500.
- Dates. The exact dates and hours committed to research each week will be arranged with your Research Educator.
