Scholarships, Fellowships and Financial Assistance
Because Graduate Fellows are registered as full-time students on their home UT System campus, students will continue to receive any financial aid or scholarships they would utilize or qualify for during the summer on their home campus. Additionally, students who would have paid less than $3,900 in tuition and fees to enroll in nine (9) credit hours at their home campus are eligible for a housing stipend to be paid directly to Washington Intern Student Housing. This stipend will not exceed the difference between what a student would have paid in tuition and fees and the $3,900 extension program fee.
All Graduate Fellows are eligible to apply for a number of scholarships made possible by generous Archer Center supporters. Applications for the following scholarships will be sent to incoming Fellows in the months prior to their arrival in D.C.

In addition to general scholarships of varying amounts, the committee also awards the following scholarships:
