Tuition Reduction Benefit and Sponsored Projects

Student employees performing necessary work toward a sponsored project may receive a Tuition Reduction Benefit (TRB). The “necessary work” requirement is outlined in OMB Circular A-21 and clarified in Memoranda 01-06.

Beginning with academic year 2013 – 2014, sponsored tuition for specific job categories for students (such as GRAs, TAs, AIs) will be processed on a Tuition Reduction Benefit document (SS3). The change is well described on the Graduate School’s website.
