Stipend Checks

Stipend checks may be picked up at the Student Financial Services Cashier’s Window at 210 Kent Hall four times during the academic year: at the beginning of each term in September and January and at the start of November and March. If a student’s fellowship includes a teaching or research appointment, 2/3 of the total award is disbursed in four stipend checks as described above to be picked up from 210 Kent Hall. Students may choose to have stipends deposited directly. To arrange for direct deposit, please contact Student Financial Services at 212-854-4206 or http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/.

Monthly Checks

Monthly checks are issued at the end of each month during the academic year for students who hold teaching or research appointments, and they can be picked up from the student’s departmental administrator. The total of the nine checks (Sept.–May) is approximately 1/3 of the award. The entire GRA stipend is issued as monthly checks. Monthly checks may also be deposited directly; please see the departmental administrator.
