Fellows will work with the Internship and Fellowship Program Coordinator to design a work plan that complies with the requirements of the sponsoring institution's program. In most cases, fellowships will be unpaid.
Term:
Interns and fellows will be considered on a summer term and academic year basis with dates being flexible.
