An Honors College Student Fellowship is a $1,200 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 reading component, a writing component, and a speaking component. The student is expected to invest about 80 hours of focused effort. A single fellowship can be spread across twelve consecutive months (no longer unless approved). Students may only be award one Honors Fellowship.
We hope to award 60 fellowships in the following five categories follows:
| Research | Creativity | Reading | Community Engagement |
Money is credited to a student’s tuition and fee bill. Typically, half of the award ($600) is given at the start of the fellowship while the second $600 is released when the student satisfactorily completes the activity and submits the fellowship final report. (see below).
The Honors College Fellowships are awarded on a rolling basis
