Objectives:
The Alberta Innovates Summer Research Studentships program is administered by individual post-secondary institutions (PSIs), which set their own deadlines. For 2026, a new streamlined application process via the AwardsHub platform has been introduced for some institutions. Most student application deadlines for 2026 have now passed (e.g., University of Alberta: Feb 2, 2026; University of Calgary: Jan 26, 2026; MacEwan University: Mar 2, 2026). Applicants must consult the websites of participating PSIs for current details. Visit the official site for more information.
