Thanks for your reply!
In this case, the employer is actually the United States Government, and the scholarship is issued directly through government funds (an NSF grant to my University), so it's all the more confusing.
The details of repayment are complicated, but the simple version is that I have 30 days to pay in full directly back to the University. After 30 days, it becomes a debt to the US Treasury with an interest rate set by the current interest rates of a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
Do you still think the repayment is separate from the original reporting, even though the entity I made the agreement with was the federal government? If you have any other insight I'd very much appreciate it!
