2025 FoMD Summer Student Funding
The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry has limited funding available for summer students. There is no separate application process, as students have to apply to the Alberta Innovates Summer Research Studentship. To qualify for these awards, students must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 on the last 60 credits. In addition to other awards, there are specialized studentships that students are funded from. These awards cannot be held concurrently with another summer studentship award.
