If a summer programs fee includes room and board, do we still pay the student the full $2,400 subsistence allowance?
No. The subsistence allowance is meant to cover personal expenses including room and board. But, if room and board are included in the tuition/fee payment, you should not pay the student for the same costs. Ask the program for an exact breakout of what the program fee covers and subtract the cost of room and board from the student’s subsistence allowance. Pay the student the remainder of the subsistence allowance, if any, to ensure the student receives a full award. If the program charge for room and board exceeds $2,400, the student is expected to pay the remainder of the charge.
