Chapter 2. Accounting Services
Section 2.7. Accounts Payable

2.7.9.1. Fellowship Payments

Fellowship checks are distributed monthly by Accounts Payable and are available in the departments at the beginning of each month.

The registration status, index, and any withholding requirements are verified by Accounting Services. The University is required by federal law to withhold taxes on fellowships payments to some nonresident alien students depending on their visa status and tax treaties. The withholding requirements are determined by the University tax accountant.

Accounts Payable distributes the fellowship checks to the departments, generally during the last few days of the month so they are available on the first business day of the following month.

To have a fellowship payment made, do the following:

1. Enter the student fellowship information into the Banner system by the 20th of each month or complete a check request available from Accounting Services or from the Web <http://www.admin.mtu.edu/acct/dept/acctpay/index.html>.
