Tax Cuts and Jobs Act - Update
Many of the provisions that would have hurt graduate students like the tax on tuition waivers were eliminated from the bill before it was signed into law on December 22, 2017.
Thank you to the hundreds of graduate students for your efforts in contributing to the #ReworkTheReform campaign.
