Equipment means an article of nonexpendable, tangible personal property having
a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more per unit.
Graduate Tuition*
Click here for rates. Because of unsettled state funding issues, it is very difficult to project tuition levels in future years. The Wright State Office of Budget Planning & Resource Analysis currently believes the best guess is in the neighborhood of 6% increases per year. Accordingly, RSP will use an average rate of 6% for external proposal budgeting purposes.

Tuition Waivers for Graduate Research Assistants

1. Out-of-state instructional and general fees shall be waived.
2. In-state instructional and general fees shall be waived provided
- (a) full university research F&A charges are collected, and
(b) a graduate stipend of at least $2,500 is paid per quarter.
Salary Increases
We are currently estimating increases of 3% each year, effective for FY12, and accumulated annually from that date. The 3% figure is based on average salary increases for the past several years. Individual proposals may use somewhat different escalation factors depending upon the context. For example, if an NIH program limits salary increases to 2% per year, then a 2% escalator should be used in proposals submitted to that program.Calendar Year Information:
| Calendar Year - | 2080 hours, 260 days |
| Academic Year - | 1560 hours, 195 days |
| Hours per month - | 173.33 |
