Our Senior Media Specialist may contact students who submit exceptional essays for an interview about their experience with the MBS program. Additionally, we encourage Fellowship recipients to serve the MBS community by volunteering their time at our annual events.
Students may apply for the fellowship more than once. No student may receive more than two fellowship awards during their enrollment in the MBS program.
How much am I likely to receive?
Funding amounts vary based on availability. Awards are typically $1,000 to $3,000 per semester and are processed as tuition remission.
