How are James O. Freedman Presidential Scholars compensated?
Students are eligible to receive a stipend of $700 for each of the two terms of the assistantship. Stipends are paid as a lump sum through the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Research at the END of each term and are contingent on a satisfactory evaluation by the faculty mentor. Students are not required to complete time-sheets. Stipend payments for international students (non-resident aliens) are subject to a 14% tax.
