Tuition Remission

Effective January 10, 2006, all proposals for new grant and contract funding must include a tuition remission surcharge of $4,000 per Academic Year Semester for each Program/Project Assistant (PA) and Research Assistant (RA) eligible for tuition remission, regardless of the percent of appointment. This fixed charge replaces the previous rate of 25% of stipends. By including the new, fixed amount in proposals that are submitted now, new awards can be funded with the tuition remission amount at that level.

December 14 , 2006 Memo from Darrell Bazzell, Vice Chancellor for Administration
