What are the conditions for the fellowship?
Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis and at the discretion of the department. Part of the application requires that candidates draft a 500 to 750-word essay in response to the prompt in the application.
Our Senior Media Specialist may contact students who submit exceptional essays for an interview about their experience with the MBS program.
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 $5,000 per semester and are processed as tuition remission.
