Good afternoon.

 

We have historically requested ONLY the costs of graduate student stipends from our sponsors; never the tuition. It has been our practice to provide tuition scholarships from an internal allocation when the stipends are covered by the sponsor. We do this whether cost-share is required or not.

 

Does anyone request both stipends and tuition from sponsors? How do you address out-of-state tuition and fees? If you made the change recently, what sort of results have you seen from your sponsors? What sort of push-back have you received from your faculty?

 

My sense is that our current practice is not uncommon, but in these days of tighter budgets, leadership is asking all areas of the campus to become more and more creative at covering and cutting costs, and this is one suggestion that has been handed down the chain.
