The Canadian Oil Sands Network for Research and Development Scholarship recognizes the accomplishments of students in their final year of study at the undergraduate and graduate level and who are involved in projects that show commercial potential and/or relevance.

A letter of support from at least one supervising professor or instructor, and if applicable a supporting letter by a sponsoring company, must be submitted. Alberta Student Aid will review transcripts and applications and determine which students have developed and are working on technologies, innovations or processes with the highest probability of being commercially deployed within a reasonable time frame.
