Graduate Student Support Plan for Administrators

Graduate Student Support Plan Overview (pdf coming soon) – Summary of Graduate Student Support Plan, eligibility, and funding structure.

Graduate Student Support Plan Funding Chart (pdf) – Graduate Student Support Plan benefits funding structure (within allowed semesters). The student’s stipend source (project number/type of funds) determines “who pays” for GSSP benefits.

*Please note that, if a student’s stipend source is split (salary or stipend distributed across more than one funding source/project), so too will “who pays” for GSSP benefits. In other words, GSSP benefits are distributed according to the salary or stipend distribution.
