The Undergraduate Scholars Program (USP) Stipend Policy

The USP stipend is intended to support student research at an approximate rate of $15 per hour, for a total of 100 or 200 hours per award, depending on the specific funding level. Any additional funding or course credit awarded to a student must correspond to additional work beyond the hours covered by the USP stipend. All forms of compensation or credit for research activities must receive prior approval from the student's faculty mentor.
