Overview
In the 2010 Fellowships, financial support of up to $50,000 annually towards tuition and mandatory fees (excluding health insurance), living stipend (based on the institution’s room and board rate), reimbursement for books and some travel may be paid during the senior year and during the first year of graduate study pending availability of funding. Participating schools provide financial support in the second year of graduate study based on need.
