In registering to submit a SURF proposal, I confirm that I will discuss the budget of the project with my research mentor, and I understand that my requested stipend ($1,250 or $2,500, depending on requested funding length) does not have to be used for research costs, unless I have previously agreed to share costs with my mentor. If we have jointly decided, per this discussion with my mentor, to use a portion of the student stipend to fund research costs, I will detail any planned expenditures on the SURF Student Stipend Agreement form included with my SURF application.

I agree to the budget guidelines above Required
