Cost
Each Global Fellow who has been accepted into the program will receive a monetary stipend of $4500 to offset some of the major internship-related expenses, including program fees, housing and food. Some or all of this fund will be paid directly to SFHC.
Award amounts vary and are determined by several factors including, but not limited to, number of weeks of internship and location. The purpose of the stipend is to cover some of the 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.
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.

* All estimates are based on a 60 day period. Estimates are provided as a guide for anticipating costs of the student's summer experience. Actual expenses will vary. Many factors, including currency fluctuations, personal spending habits, and any self-selected additional travel or excursions, will effect total costs of the experience.
** Airfare is estimated as round-trip with an East Coast departure to placement city. Any deviation from this and associated costs, for example departing from student’s family home, is done at the discretion and cost of the student.
