Student Awards and Scholarships (SASO)

Encourage your students to submit their work for the Global Undergraduate Awards by May 27, 2022

Undergraduate students and recent graduates from the class of 2021, 2022, or 2023 are encouraged to submit their work to the Global Undergraduate Awards (UA), with the chance to attend the summit in Dublin.

Global University Awards (UA),  the world’s leading academic awards program, recognizes top undergraduate work, shares this work with a global audience and connects students across cultures and disciplines. 

In previous years, the university's students have received recognition as regional and global winners. In 2019, the university sent three outstanding students and we hope to achieve this again this year!  

Please encourage outstanding students to submit their work by May 27, 2022. If you have any questions, contact awards@ryerson.ca
