[1] https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq#is_gsoc_considered_an_internship_a_job_or_any_form_of_employment Since our grants are also "service"-based payments, probably, we should use the same category for tax purposes? Another idea is to use the money for "competitions" where students submit their "completed" work and we pick a couple of their projects for monetary rewards. Not sure about tax implications in this case. It's more of a prize than a pay. Maybe we can leave this out and only add it in the future if the issue > arises.
