I received a two-year external award. How many years of GSAS funding extension would I get versus how many years of GSAS top-off?
With the top-off, you would receive the supplemental top-off from GSAS for each year of the award. With the extension option, one year is the maximum for extension of GSAS funding regardless of the numbers of years of the external award. For the second year of your multi-year external award the topoff policy would apply.
