These awards exclude designated fees, differential fees, and the international student fee.

5. All Fellowships, whether administered as a fellowship or assistantship, may have an additional 0.25 appointment. Please note: If the .25 FTE appointment is funded by an account chargeable for fee remits, the tuition and fees will be charged to the funding source for the .25 FTE appointment.
