Budget: In this section, you should indicate how the award will be used support your project. The total award is up to $1,500. In the Mason Korea program, the student is allocated $1,000 in student stipend. In addition, the student is allocated up to $500 for supplies. For materials and supplies, preliminary prices and sources should be included in the justification. Typically, URSP does not fund travel to present your projects, but for some students we allow this use of funds during the school year. URSP students have priority access separate funds, the Undergraduate Student Travel Fund (USTF) for this purpose. For more information on USTF, please visit the OSCAR website.
