Please Note: Allowability of tuition costs varies by sponsoring agency

This table represents the amount of tuition to be included in a grant proposal where the tuition is an allowable cost by the sponsor [see table for USDA]. It is supported by a memo from the Controller's Office, March 2008. "The attached document provides a recap of the Federal regulations relating to the allowability of charging graduate scholarships and fees to sponsored funding." [1-page PDF]

** This table is based on the actual rates for Academic Year (AY) Summer 2012 - Spring 2013 (provided by the Office of the Registrar). All future AY's are increased by 4.20% (calculation based on the average of tuition increases for the two previous AY's and the current AY 2012 - 2013). This table and the percentages will be updated each year after the tuition increase has been approved.
