US Fellowship and Grant Withholding for Foreign Grantees

You secured the grant. That validates your expertise. But getting the money into your account without losing too much to avoidable withholding is a separate job.

Form 8233 for Foreign Individuals With U.S. Scholarship or Fellowship Income

If a U.S. university pays you a scholarship, fellowship or teaching stipend, start by separating education support from compensation for work. Form 8233 is generally the treaty-withholding claim for a nonresident alien's U.S. personal-service compensation.
