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