Scholarship and Fellowship Tax Information

The treatment of fellowships and scholarships under the IRS publication 970 and Tax Topic 421 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that you may exclude from your gross income only scholarship and fellowships amounts used for:
Tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at an educational organization;
Books, supplies and equipment required for courses of instruction.

Amount used for other expenses, such as room and board, are includeable as income.

Notwithstanding the above, any amounts received that represent payment for teaching, research or other services required as a condition for receiving the scholarship or fellowship grant are also includable as income.

If all or a portion of a scholarship is granted in return for services, such as teaching or research preformed by a student, that portion of the scholarship or fellowship would be considered wages, and Santa Clara University would be required to withhold taxes and comply with related reporting requirements. In that case of all other scholarship and fellowship recipients, it is not required that Santa Clara University withhold income taxes and/or file information returns (Form 1099) with the IRS, and we will not do so. You are responsible for keeping your own records for any reporting that may be required.
