- While you may have heard, it is worth repeating that the
- current U.S. Congress is considering a bill which would make scholarships
- and fellowships once again exempt from taxes. This bill also allows
- for all taxes that have been paid on scholarships and fellowships
- since 1987 (when they were first taxed) to be refunded.
-
- This is obviously beneficial to the entire academic community,
- especially graduated students. Please write or call your representative and
- even senators to voice your support for this bill.
-
- It has been introduced in the House of Representatives as HR 4418 by
- Rep. Lewis of Florida.
-
-
- You can call 1-800-347-1997 to get information to find out who is your federal
- representative. Otherwise, you can call the House of Representatives directly
- at 202-224-3121.
-
- Spread the word.
