Fellowships offer targeted financial support for specific purposes, often awarded through competitive processes. The Yale Fellowships and Funding office is partially responsible for disbursing these fellowships, as well as advising and reaching out to students. Environmental Studies students often leveraged both Yale-funded and external fellowships to pursue diverse interests during summer breaks. These opportunities span a wide range of fields, including:
- Journalism
- Photography
- Public service
- Independent research
- Nonprofit work
Fellowship Coverage
The scope of financial support varies depending on each fellowship’s guidelines. Funding may include:
- Room and board
- Supplies
- Insurance
- Travel costs
- Car rentals
- Stipends or salaries
- Internet access
Many students combine multiple fellowships to fully fund their experiences.
