Non-University of Iowa Student

If you are a non-University of Iowa student who participating in a Summer Research Experience, you need to be aware of a few things regarding your summer stipend.  

Stipend Payments
Most students receive their award/stipend through the UI scholarship portal.  You are NOT considered a university employee because the stipends are for your educational experience, not compensation for specific hours worked.   These opportunities are intended to help you further your education and develop professional skills.
