What is the Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) Benefit?
Institute policy is to provide full tuition and fees for each research assistant working on a sponsored project who meets a required average workweek. A portion of the tuition and fees is charged to the grant or contract on which the GRA is working. This is paid by the sponsor as a special employee benefit. The current rate for the GRA Benefit can be found by clicking on the following link. The rate is applied to the student’s salary charged to the sponsored project.
