Cost

Each Fellow receives a monetary stipend to offset major internship-related expenses, including program fees, round-trip flight, housing and food. Award amounts vary and are determined by several factors including, but not limited to, number of weeks of internship, location, payments paid directly to partner by CALS, partner support and financial need. The purpose of the stipend is to cover major expenses. It is not intended as monetary gain for Fellows. Global Fellows should budget wisely and be willing to financially contribute to their experience. Students accepted to the program will receive confirmation of the amount of the stipend in their letter of offer.

Note: Students should be prepared to pay some out-of-pocket expenses that the stipend will not cover, and/or expenses required in advance such as housing deposits. See the budget below for estimated amounts.

Accepted fellows will need to set up direct deposit with the Bursar in order to receive funding.

Many factors, including currency fluctuations, personal spending habits, and any self-selected additional travel or excursions, will effect total costs of the experience.
