SURF students with high financial need as determined by Student Financial Services will receive an additional cost of living stipend, equivalent to half the weekly cost of campus housing for the duration of their project, up to 10 weeks ($125 per week) . This will be paid automatically, along with the standard stipend. Students do not need to provide any additional information (other than confirming their participation in the program) and are not required to live in campus housing to receive this benefit.
