Dear UROP Applicant,
As you prepare your application for funding from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), please read these instructions carefully. For more information on funding, eligibility, and any restrictions, please consult our website here.
Only online submissions of applications will be accepted. Students can submit only one application per semester. If you submit more than one application, the UROP office may refuse to evaluate your application submissions for that semester.
A completed UROP application consists of this online application form and a letter of recommendation form completed by your BU faculty mentor. An online submission of your application is due by 12:00PM (noon) on Thursday, September 12, 2024. Your faculty mentor must complete an online recommendation form by 11:59PM on the same day.
Please discuss time commitment, award type, and expectations with your mentor prior to submitting your application. If there are any time or award request discrepancies between you and your mentor, we will consider you for the lowest requested amount.
Upon submitting this application, your mentor will receive a prompt to submit your letter of recommendation along with a copy of your application. With that said, it is your responsibility to ensure your faculty mentor completes the letter of recommendation form. If your mentor is looking to submit their letter of recommendation, direct them to the "for mentors" page on the UROP website, where they will log in with their Kerberos information and complete the form.
Keep your responses within the word limit of each field; you may not continue your responses in the Appendix.
If you have any questions or encounter difficulties, it is your responsibility to contact the UROP Office at urop@bu.edu or call 617-353-2020.
