titleFixed Term (Residencies & Internships) Policy & Amounts

Fixed-term field workers (residents, interns, fellows, apprentices, etc.) are eligible to receive a one-time transfer of either $1000 or $2000 in Diversity Scholarship funds depending on their length of term and hours of employment. See the table below for the policy guidelines. Because there are often employment parameters that don't match one of the described criteria perfectly, Fixed Term will assess each situation on an individual basis before making scholarship transfers.
