Common questions

How is a fellowship different from a scholarship?

A scholarship pays for a degree. A fellowship usually funds a defined period of work, research or training, often for people already in their careers, and may not lead to a qualification.

Are fellowships paid?

Most listed here include a stipend or cover costs; the listing states the amount when the funder publishes it.
