Non-California Residents
(Must be US Citizen or Permanent Resident)
All Graduate Student Researcher appointments must pay any applicable nonresident supplemental tuition
(NRST) as a benefit of employment. However, as nonresident supplemental tuition remission expense cannot
be charged to work-study funds, there is no work-study cost savings for NRST expense.
