Applying the Tuition Grant Program (TGP) Fringe Benefit Rate

[for information about the Tuition Grant Program, refer to the Human Resources Website]

The University applies an unallowable fringe benefit rate to regular benefits-eligible salaries to support the costs of the Tuition Grant Program (Admin Guide Memo 27.4, "Tuition Privileges").

Effective September 1, 1999, the Tuition Grant Program (TGP) fringe rate is assessed on regular benefits-eligible salaries charged to all non-government funded PTA’s including sponsored projects, operating budgets and auxiliary PTA’s.

Regular benefits-eligible salaries charged to government-funded PTA’s, academic service centersand sponsored project cost sharing PTA’s are exempt from the TGP charge.

The TGP charge is subject to facilities and administrative costs (F&A) and infrastructure charges. The TGP fringe benefit rates can be found on the Stanford Rates webpage. The TGP charge appears in expenditure type 51770 FRINGE BENEFITS TGP.
