About
A Fellowship is defined as an activity outside the conventional classroom that complements and broadens the student's program of liberal arts education. Fellowships support co-curricular experiences in which students take intellectual ownership in a faculty-mentored project or experience.
Students or faculty may apply for fellowships for one or more academic semesters or for the summer. For more information on fellowships, visit our website.
Fellowships Details
1. Summer fellowships. A fulltime summer fellowship is defined as 35 hours/week for up to 8 weeks. A student in a full-time summer fellowship cannot accept any other summer fellowship from the College. If a student is in a fellowship that is shorter than 8 weeks, they may accept a second fellowship as long as the total time between all fellowships is no more than 10 weeks, and they do not exceed 35 hours in any given week. During the course of a fulltime summer fellowship, a student may not hold other substantial employment or be enrolled in a summer course, as it will not allow them to engage fully in the fellowship activity.
2. Academic-year fellowships. Academic year fellowships can span fall, spring, or both semesters and can vary in hours/week but should not exceed 15 hours per week.
3. Fellow compensation. Fellows earn $11 per hour.
4. Logging and approving hours. Fellows log hours and faculty supervisors approve hours weekly in Rhodes Engage.
5. Foundation credit. Fellows can fulfill the F11 requirements provided they complete 138 hours of fellowship work and submit the necessary F11 application and contract to The Registrar.
6. On-campus housing. Support for on-campus summer housing can be requested for the duration of the fellowship.
