In terms of funding, the fellowship offered up to $19,700 per academic year for each of the two academic years covered, plus up to $9,500 for a three-month summer internship. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity was $48,900, with no stated award floor, and the estimated total funding amount across awards was $1,956,000. The announcement indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
