Each Spring, the CSEP invites each Canadian university with an Undergraduate program in Physical Education, Human Kinetics, or related disciplines to present the CSEP/SCPE Undergraduate Student Award to the student graduating in that academic year with the highest standing in the scientific portion of the curriculum. The awards are presented by the university.
