Assuming you are single, a $37,000 annual income would result the following taxes (using 2005 tax rates):

Income taxes: $3,561.
Medicare taxes: $537.
Social Security Taxes: $2,294.

Now, you may be exempt from the Medicare and Social Security taxes because you may be considered a student. Check with the university on that.
