UVA complies with U.S. Federal Tax and Immigration Law when making payments to or on behalf of non-citizens of the United States. If you are an international, non-U.S. Citizen, and/or a non-U.S. Resident student and receive fellowship payments (sometimes referred to as stipends) or refunds, you may have 14% deducted for taxes prior to receiving your refund (unless your situation makes you eligible to claim Treaty Benefits).
