<span style="font-size:12pt">Several years ago, we went through the process of defining these distinct roles -- GTA, GRA, GA (or as I think would be described by Carol as a GSA). We went through this process because the IRS allows for up to $5250 per calendar
year in tuition waivers associated with GTA and GRA appointments to be excluded from taxable income. It is my understanding that tuition waivers from a GA or GSA appointment does not qualify for IRS exemption.
