[QUOTE="sweeper, post: 998151, member: 1174"] I’m not sure we are comparing apples to apples. Students who receive academic scholarships are not required to work according to institutional rules (eg. 20 hrs or 40 hrs per week of mandated study time) or other standards that don’t apply to the general student population. If you are incredibly gifted and study a bare minimum and still achieve the performance requirements of your scholarship, you keep the scholarship. If you don’t maintain the academic minimum required, you lose the scholarship. The example of working in a lab is interesting. As an undergrad you are not required to work in the lab to maintain student status. You volunteer your time for experience and, hopefully, the mentorship and recommendations for future endeavors that follow. As a grad student you work at the schools facilities but are paid out of funding from some source, maybe school related or maybe outside funding. My nephew is getting a PhD at Ga State. He is paid 30,000 a year and gets tuition for free. He told me that he is paid as a contractor, 1099 income. I guess that is how he doesn’t get state benefits. [/QUOTE]
