Stipends:

  • Summer Undergraduate Research stipends will be paid out twice a month, on the 15th and/or last business day of the month.
  • Stipends are split evenly into disbursements throughout the research period.
  • Stipends will not be paid until all paperwork necessary is complete by both the faculty and student researchers.  
  • Stipends will not be paid out until students have started their research project.  Example: if a student's start date for their summer research is May 16th, they will not be paid until May 31st.
