**Information about the recovery of "Indirect costs "
Indirect costs/overhead/Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A) (e.g., electricity, facilities and their upkeep, computers, accounting services, payroll, library services, etc.), are the real costs of college operations which are not readily assignable to a particular project. Wheaton has negotiated with the federal government for an F&A recovery rate of 45% (this rate will be renegotiated in the summer of 2027.)
