Who pays the student's stipend/tuition? If me, how much is it per year?

STIPEND: Stipend levels are set by NIH and are based on the students level of experience.  The typical range is $30-35K, plus health insurance costs which add another $3500 or so.  I would estimate about $40K although for a students health care, stipend, visa and travel cost per year.

TUITION:  Tuition is paid centrally by the SD..  In some ICs the SD will bill the PI for this cost.
