In order to do a UROP project, you must be in an undergraduate degree program, in good academic standing, eligible to work in the U.S., and registered for at least 6 credits during the semesters that you will do your research (for summer projects, this is waived if you are registered for at least 6 credits in both the preceding and following semesters).

Students may hold only one UROP award at a time. While past award recipients may reapply, priority will be given to first­‑time applicants. Past award recipients must have completed a final report, evaluation, and presentation for all previous projects before they will be considered for another award. Students nearing graduation may apply only if they will complete their UROP projects, and submit a final report and evaluation and complete the presentation requirement before graduating from the University. UROP will no longer fund more than two awards for any individual student so if you have already received two UROP awards, you may not apply for a third.
