Re: FW: NEH Summer Stipends Herbert B. Chermside 16 Apr 2001 07:59 EST
Over the last 20 years VCU has had a couple of these. Clearly they are awards to individuals. As a service to our faculty, we provide any assistance or guidance we can on the paperwork. I also offer my personal advice to set up a separate checking account exclusively for the award -- generally a "pay by the check" account costs least -- because it provides a clearly auditable record, differentiates grant activities from personal ones, and if everything is paid by check, no costs are forgotten when tax time comes.
