Any institution may elect to charge tuition and required fees instead of direct costs. For UW institutions, UW System policy permits the payment of direct costs for a credit-producing course in lieu of tuition only when direct costs exceed projected tuition revenue. If the grant pays the direct costs of instruction, then participants will not be charged tuition. A detailed budget and a budget summary using Form B1 are required. Each item must be justified for its contribution to the program.
Exceptions require special justification.
Stipends for participants in a program that is less than full-time shall be adjusted proportionally. Participants shall not receive stipends in addition to their regular salary for activities during weekdays of the academic year. If K-12 teachers are hired as part of the teaching staff, their remuneration should be commensurate with their contribution, based on considerations similar to those used for faculty salaries. Equipment, supplies, and text materials may be purchased through the grant, provided it is used for professional development activities that are part of the funded project. Exceptions require special justification.
