§ 57.508 - What financial support is available to trainees?

Expenditures from traineeship funds are limited to:

(a) Tuition and fees, in accordance with the established rates of the institution, except as limited by the Secretary.

(b) Stipends in whatever amount the grantee determines that each trainee needs to pursue the training program, as long as that amount does not exceed the limits established by the Public Health Service. Stipends may only be paid to the trainee in monthly installments.

(c) A transportation allowance for travel to field training if the site is beyond a reasonable commuting distance and requires the trainee to establish a temporary new residence. However, the grantee may not pay an allowance for daily commuting from the new place of residence to the field training headquarters.
