In addition to a stipend of $85,000 paid over a nine-month period to cover living costs, fellows receive some financial support for child care and health insurance.
Fellows are not eligible for healthcare insurance through Harvard University. Individuals who are unable to retain their current health insurance would have the option of purchasing a plan through the Massachusetts Health Connector, an independent state agency that serves as a marketplace for Massachusetts residents to find, compare, and enroll in health insurance programs.
