Summer Undergraduate Research Discovery Grant 7. UROP Student Success Grant The UROP student travel grant is open to any currently enrolled University of Michigan-Ann Arbor undergraduate student, regardless of citizenship, presenting at a professional research conference and is interested in receiving funding to supplement their cost of attendance.

Funding applications **MUST be submitted online between 30-45 days** prior to the dates of travel. There is limited funding to support undergraduate student researchers traveling for research fieldwork. If this applies to you, please email Dr. Michelle Ferréz at mdferrez@umich.

edu to discuss funding options. * Currently enrolled UROP students are eligible to receive up to $2,000 (presenting at national conferences, meetings, forums). You can also apply for additional funding to support an international research conference presentation if applicable.

* Non-UROP Students are eligible to receive a maximum award of $1,000 (national conferences, meetings, forums). You can also apply for additional funding to support an international research conference presentation if applicable.

* Please note: To ensure the equitable distribution of limited travel resources across the broader university research community, **students currently affiliated with the Michigan Research and Discovery Scholars (MRADS) program are ineligible to apply for UROP Travel Grants for the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR).

This policy ensures that students without departmental affiliations have the opportunity to present their work.
