**PLEASE NOTE: Fellowship compensation is in the form of tuition remission, not direct salary. You will receive tuition remission unless: (1) you have 100% of your tuition covered by corporate sponsorship or scholarship, (2) you have exceeded the amount of tuition remission allowed, (3) you are hired for a tutor position, and/or (4) you are hired for a summer position and are not enrolled in summer classes.

Each fellowship provides a partial tuition credit for the semester that you are employed and is credited directly to your tuition account. The tuition credit received from fellowship positions is considered financial aid and, most likely, will affect your loan package. 

If you receive a position and have loans up to the full cost of attendance, bursars will apply the tuition credit directly to your tuition payment and reduce your loans by that amount (i.e. you will not receive a refund check for the fellowship, instead a check for the amount of your fellowship will go directly to the lender to pay down your loan for that semester).
