Congratulations!! Hope the Diamonds align.

From our DS experience:
You probably know how the institutional scholarship works. The RA and TA programs should also be known, and is taxed. Fellowships is more unrestricted but generally awarded for a special purpose, ie MacArthur Fellowship, Fullbrights, Rhodes. The fellowship paid for DS books, computer, and living expenses and a careful student can do quite well compared to other students.

The numbers gets confusing as to what funds goes to what. Leave it to the kid to figure it out, as long as nothing comes from you.
