Tuition

For the 2017-2018 academic year, tuition ($41,000/AY) will be paid for all students.  In addition, a stipend of $35,150 will be paid over 12 months.  All stipends are considered taxable income, and students are expected to file a tax return with the IRS.  The University will withhold tax on all research, teaching and other assistantships; on casual wages paid; and on the fellowship stipends of foreign students.  Taxes are not withheld on fellowship or traineeship stipends for U.S. citizens.  For the latter, most students file quarterly estimated tax reports.  NB:  Withholding forms for Connecticut State and Federal taxes must be on file at the Payroll Office, 155 Whitney Avenue and updated annually, otherwise the maximum amount will be deducted from stipend checks.  Students who are on assistantships in research (ARs) should file a Federal and State W4 form.  See Appendix 5 - Taxation of Scholarships and Fellowships.
