There is no cap on tuition and the amount of a SSPP’s tuition does not affect the length of the service commitment. Approved related educational fees generally include mandatory fees such as student activity and student government fees.
My acceptance paperwork listed values for the stipend and internship, but it did not say how much I would receive towards my educational fees. I get charged a $5000 "operating fee" by my college that is a mandatory fee, so I was just wondering from someone who has experience with the award, or who has received the award if this fee is included in the approved educational fees that get covered, or if I will have to use a portion of the stipend to cover it.
Not sure about your school, but at CU Boulder all fees except medical insurance are paid, (about $3000.00ish) if your operating fee is mandatory, then I would think it should be covered.
