Who may I pay with UROP funding?

Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ throughout the grant term to be eligible for UROP funding and must not receive funding from another UROP source (e.g. Student Grant) during the same grant term.

What payment method does UROP recommend?
