See title :) Thanks for any thoughts.

Anyone know when the senate vote will be?

Hi TakeruK. Thanks for your input. $54,000 is my base funding for the length of my program and it is exclusively in scholarships and awards. I am not required to work as a TA due to my scholarships since I am not funded by my department. I may have a short-term RA project next semester, and although it would count as income, it would only be $2,000 and at most $3,000... Thanks again.

Hello. I'm American but am working on a PhD in Canada (Ontario). I'm wondering if anyone knows if and how this might affect Americans abroad. I know that funding is different in Canada but I am still a little insecure about all of this. My annual funding is $54,000 but from that I pay about $15,000 a year in tuition. Whatever is leftover is my living stipend. Since I pay my own tuition I'm hoping this might not affect me. But I pay my tuition with scholarship money, after all. For what its worth, I am aware that any scholarship money above and beyond tuition or school expenses is taxable in the US, regardless of where you are studying. (How lucky is it for us Americans and that our government gets to collect taxes on foreign income, including scholarship money). This is a really frustrating situation for everyone but thanks so much for any help or insight.
