Maximum Limit of Merit-Based Support
The Graduate Council has established a policy of Maximum Limit on the total amount of support a graduate student may receive. It includes special fellowships, stipends, and ASE/GSR earnings. The maximum limit will vary for each student (i.e. spouse, number of dependents, professional school enrollment, tuition support). The maximum limit listed below represents the maximum stipend and/or ASE/GSR earnings that a student may receive exclusive of tuition/non-resident supplemental tuition support.
