- Completed at least 2 years of their undergraduate program and/or be entering 3rd or 4th year of study
- Have a minimum GPA of B, or 3.0 on a 4-point scale, ideally higher to be competitive
- Suitable proficiency in English to perform research
- While a formal English test result is not a requirement to apply for the UARE program, a minimum score of TOEFL 70 iBT, IELTS 5.5, and/or DET 90 or above on informal or practice tests generally indicates that you possess the necessary communication skills to successfully perform research
- U of A Host Professors or Supervisors/Mentors may request a video meeting with applicants during the selection process to screen for suitability, as desired
- Prospective UARE applicants are welcome and encouraged to apply to both Winter and Summer program, should they desire, with potential selection being offered for one or the other at the discretion of UAI (i.e., if you are selected for Winter and receive an offer of a placement for Winter, you cannot defer to Summer and your application will be removed from Summer consideration)
- Past UARE participants are ineligible to participate in UARE more than once, but past UARE participants are welcome to apply for Global Affairs Canada International Scholarships if they are eligible
