Honors College Fellowships
An Honors College Student Fellowship is a $1,500 - $3,000 grant given to a Commonwealth Honors student for pre-approved scholarly engagement that is overseen and guided by a mentor. Each fellowship must have a critical reading component and conclude with a 15 minute in-person or virtual presentation. The student is expected to invest about 75 hours of focused effort for a one-semester fellowship and about 150 hours of focused effort for a two-semester fellowship. A single fellowship can be spread across, but cannot exceed, 12 consecutive months.
