Fellowship Funding

Financial support for Bass Instructional Fellows is variable and dependent on the student’s need.

• If the student has support in place for the term in which they plan to participate, the Bass award can be purely nominal (i.e., no financial component).
• If the student needs support for that term or semester, full financial support would be available. Fellows who receive full financial support will receive compensatory payment at the level of Arts and Sciences teaching assistants and a scholarship covering full or partial tuition and fees for their semester of participation.
