Title
Office of Sponsored Programs - 500.13 - Tuition Remission on Sponsored Projects
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to document the Federal and University requirements for tuition remission costs on sponsored projects.
Policy Statement
As with other salaries supported by sponsored funding, eligible graduate students of research project teams may be compensated with a partial tuition waiver based on the percentage of effort the individual will work on the project. The tuition rates differ depending on the applicable graduate program.
In conjunction with 2 CFR §200.466, tuition remission and other forms of compensation may be allowable provided the individual’s participation in the research meets the applicable criteria. The Graduate School at the University provides Graduate Tuition Incentive Scholarships (GTIS) for eligible doctoral and master's students who receive external funding through sponsored research.
