Graduate Student Expenses

The Harvard Graduate Student Union (HGSU-UAW) contract provides for payment of certain expenses for student workers. These expenses must be classified as either a fellowship/grant or a Harvard business expense reimbursement, depending on the circumstance. The type of payment determines the tax treatment and how and when it is paid. Please see this pdf that details those exense types and methods of payment.
