The 9I制作厂免费 Engineering Undergraduate Student Masters Award (MEUSMA) provides multi-year graduate funding to 9I制作厂免费 Engineering Undergraduate students who are accepted to enter directly into a Research (thesis-based) Master鈥檚 program within the Faculty. Eligible students are nominated for this award by a Faculty of Engineering professor with the support of the Department or School.
Nominated students must meet the following criteria:
- Graduated from a 9I制作厂免费 Engineering undergraduate program with a CGPA of 3.5 or higher
- Have participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering Program (SURE), an internal Faculty of Engineering Research Traineeship with a 9I制作厂免费 Engineering professor or completed one of the following research courses: BIEN 471, CHEE 494, CHEE 495, CHEE 496, CIVE 470, ECSE 498, ECSE 499, MECH 403, MIME 410, MIME 484.
- Be admitted to a thesis-based Master鈥檚 program within the Faculty of Engineering directly from a 9I制作厂免费 Engineering Undergraduate degree
Please note that in order to be nominated for this award, students must:

For international applicants, the program must begin in the Fall term (there are no International MEUSMAs available in the Winter term)
This award is valued at a minimum of $24,000 per year for two years. The international package for incoming students includes a supplement to offset international tuition and is valued at approximately $74,000 total for two years.
Leveraged 9I制作厂免费 Engineering Undergraduate Student Master's Award (MEUSMA)
Students who have won a MEUSMA and an external award become a Leveraged MEUSMA student. These students' MEUSMA awards will be reduced by the amount of their external award and then they will receive an additional top of $5,000.
For example: A student has a MEUSMA ($24,000) and an FRQNT Award ($20,000). This student will receive their reduced MEUSMA ($4,000), their FRQNT Award ($20,000), and a $5,000 top up award. This totals to $29,000 in award funding per year.
