The Dean’s Award for Research Excellence (DARE) offers undergraduate students the opportunity to actively engage in research projects alongside faculty members during the summer term, receiving valuable one-on-one mentoring.
With this award, undergraduates benefit from the progressive, diverse and global scope of the research being done by our internationally-recognized faculty. These thought leaders are making a lasting impact in their fields and communities near and far, and they guide our students to examine and discover, critique and create.
DARE Awardees receive $5,000 and work with a LA&PS Faculty member on a summer research project.
Eligibility
- The award is open to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in programs (majors and/or minors) within the Faculty of LA&PS, but preference will be given to students undertaking LA&PS majors. Students enrolled in non LA&PS programs but who are taking individual LA&PS courses are not eligible.
- Continuing students and those graduating in the spring may also apply.
- You must have a minimum 7.0 GPA and have completed at least 48 credits by the time you start the program.
- Applications are evaluated based on your overall academic record, the project description, and the way you express your learning objectives and role in the project.
- Students who have won DARE awards in previous years are eligible to participate again.
- Students expecting to receive Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) assistance during the Summer are advised to review potential implications to their funding should they be successful in receiving a DARE Award. Information on awards and OSAP reporting is available on York University OSAP website.
