What are the specifics of the SPUR offer?
The typical SPUR offer includes: Round trip from your home to the University of Oregon; Housing, including meals, are arranged by our staff and paid by SPUR. Housing includes room and board, and SPUR interns are housed together for the summer. Meals are 6 days a week, with one day left for you to fend for yourself. However, most SPUR interns arrive about a week before the UO dorms empty for our summer break, and so during this period, interns are housed in doubles distributed around campus; but as the dorms become available during UO final exam week, they would move to a single, in an area with the other SPUR interns and interns from other summer research programs. Our SPUR summer stipend is paid only at the end of each month, with the 1st pro-rated paycheck at end of June. (So come prepared to avoid a cash flow problem).
