We add tuition & fees to any GA listed in the budget.
Like most places, out-of-state fees and such are waivedon these
GA's.  We also grossly underpay the kids so that the whole package with
 all costs, the university FICA contribution and
 anything/everything is still less than $7,500per chattel.

Here at Rutgers we ask for the tuition on grants whenever we can.  Ours is
relatively low (about 4,000 instate and 7,000 out of state).  I know that
some other private universities with much higher tuition ask for half and
match with half.
