Determining Payment Type
Is payment for a prize or award? Click Yes if payment is:
- the result of entering a contest, judged competition, raffle, or random drawing; or
- for recognition of student achievement, i.e., charitable, scientific, educational, artistic, literacy, or civic achievement per funder/donor requirements*. Examples: University Foundation nomination, application or recognition-based awards, department awards, Glenn Kendall Community Impact Award, etc.
*For additional information or questions regarding donor requirements please contact University Advancement Services.
Please note: A student can actively apply for an award, be nominated by a committee, or selected based on merit or other criteria, per the funder/donor. Prize recipients are selected based on their actions to enter a contest, competition or proceeding. Drawing gifts or monetary payments are also classified as prizes. Prize and awards are considered tax reportable per the IRS on a 1099-MISC form unless student is employed by the funding agency (entity paying the prize and award), then paid as wages and reported on a W2. Contact Accounts Payable, CSE Accounts Payable, or CSE Payroll for additional information depending upon funding source.
