Financial Support
Each Global Fellow joining the Sehgal Foundation will receive a monetary stipend of $3,750 USD to offset some of the major internship-related expenses, including flights, housing, and food as well as a stipend.
Award amounts vary by program and are determined by several factors including, but not limited to, the 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 a 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.
