Some common terminology:
Fellowships are financial awards based on research project positions.
Scholarships are financial awards based on academic merit and may consider other qualifications.
For the purposes of the SEO programs, we consider them all fellowships, but we sometimes use both terms interchangeably.
Stipends are scholarship or fellowship payments to help offset living expenses and do not have taxes withheld.
Student Assistant and Graduate Assistant payments require an employee/employer relationship for the research payments and regular taxes are deducted.
