Paying Students

Faculty are responsible for the payment of student group members and may use any method in compliance with the university's policy on paying students.

Who may I pay with UROP funding?

Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at the University of Colorado Boulder throughout the event and must not receive funding from a UROP Individual Conference Travel Grant.

What payment method does UROP recommend?

Faculty are encouraged to talk to student team members about payment and select the method most appropriate for their situation.  Area accountants can advise and assist paying students with employment, stipends or financial aid.

Stipends paid using the university's payroll system (job code 3205) are considered "Other Financial Aid" (OFA) according to the university's policy and all award information must be reported to the Office of Financial Aid. Grants, scholarships and awards received as OFA may need to be reported on tax returns if the amount exceeds qualified educational expenses as defined by . Grants and scholarships are listed on a 1098-T.
