Huh? The fixed hourly rate and semesterly maximum aren’t dependent on year…</p>
<p>
Currently, pay directly from the UROP office is $9.25/hr, up to $1300 for each semester and $4400 for the summer. (Details are at <a href=“http://web.mit.edu/urop/guides/mitguides.html#pay[/url]”>http://web.mit.edu/urop/guides/mitguides.html#pay</a>.) Like was mentioned previously, you can be paid more by your supervisors if they wish. I made $5000 once with supervisor funding, over IAP + Spring, when the UROP office would otherwise have only paid me $2600.</p>
