Fellowship Payment Information

Stipends: Stipends are paid directly to the students on a monthly basis. Fellows can elect to either receive their payment by check, or enroll in direct deposit. Direct deposit is highly recommended as it decreases chances of lost or delayed payment. Payments by check are usually delivered by the 5th day of each month. For direct deposit, funds will be credited to the student's bank account 1 to 2 days prior to the end of the previous month.

Tuition and fees: Tuition and fees are paid directly to the educational institution by check. Depending on the payment plan prepared by the student's Project Officer, this payment is usually paid out in semesters. Payments made to the student's educational institution are as follows:

Fall: 1 September

Spring: 1 December

Summer: 1 May

Expense Allowances An Expense Allowance is also paid directly to the educational institution. It is usually paid in full in the FALL Semester. This money belongs to the student but is maintained by the institution. Please refer to your Fellowship Agreement under Fellowship Conditions for further explanation on what these funds are intended for.
