GPSS collects testimonials to challenge university and college fees, and the newly imposed SEVIS fee for international graduate and professional students.
GPSS is collecting anonymous testimonials from graduate and professional students to understand all the ways they are impacted by university and college fees, and the newly imposed $200 SEVIS fee for international graduate and professional students. This information will be used to best represent student needs and concerns, and challenge university administration who seem indifferent to the plight of the graduate students.
Please take the time to share your personal testimonial on how you are impacted by university and college fees, the new SEVIS fee, the increase in cost of living and unmatched stipends.
Currently, 83 students have shared testimonials (Last updated: June, 2022)
