SMART will pay your tuition all at once each semester, but your living stipend will come once a month. Just divide the total amount by 12. You will have to pay estimated tax on your stipend, and should save money every month for that. Once a year, you also get a technology and health stipend (totaling $2,200- which you also pay taxes on). If you live more than 50 miles from the SF, you get an additional $1000 per week of internship, which is paid in three payments on top of the stipend during summer months.

You should receive your stipend totaling to 25k, 32k, or 38k annually. If your residence is a certain number of miles from your SF, you will receive ADDITIONAL funding for the summer. I believe its 1k/wk. So for summers, expect to make an extra 4k/mo in addition to your award money.

It should be on your award document. The one that states your SF and such. PhD’s get 38,000, Masters get 32,000 (?), and not sure for Bachelors but think it’s arojnd $24,000 a year.

I know on our service agreement forms it lists what our weekly living stipend is for summer internships, but how do I find out what my living stipend for during the academic year is?
