Interested in high energy research as an undergraduate student? Check out the following opportunities:

A variety of funding for summer research, for both domestic and international UBC students and including first year students, is available at the Physics and Astronomy department at UBC. A full list is available on our website, here.
Domestic students can also apply for Undergraduate Student Research Awards from NSERC at universities other than the one where they are studying, so non-UBC students can apply at UBC (information on applying at UBC) and UBC students can apply at other universities (see the appropriate university's website).
First and Second year students who belong on a group that is underrepresented in physics might want to check out the Quantum Pathways program at QMI.
If you are interested in particle physics, have a look at the IPP Summer Student Program, which provides research experience at CERN in July and August, following two months with a Canadian superviser in May and June
If you have an interest in nuclear physics and isotope science, you want to know about the TRIUMF Undergraduate Student Program.
If you are interested in theoretical physics, check out the Undergraduate Theoretical Physics Summer Program at Perimeter Institute.
