A Knox Fellowship pays full Harvard tuition and mandatory health insurance fees and provides a stipend sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single Fellow for a 10-month academic year. Knox Fellows who plan to bring spouses, partners or other family members with them to Harvard must secure additional sources of funding to support their families. Knox Fellowship funding is guaranteed for up to two years of study at Harvard for students in degree programs requiring more than one year of study. The Committee on General Scholarships will consider Knox Fellowship renewals after the second year on a case-by-case basis.

Please note that as a condition of acceptance of a Knox Fellowship, a recipient is required to notify the Committee on General Scholarships about any other scholarships, fellowships or income that he/she expects to receive during the year in which the Knox Fellowship is granted. The Committee on General Scholarships reserves the right to reduce the amount of a Knox Fellowship in cases where the recipient will receive scholarships, fellowships or income from other sources.

It should also be noted that a Knox Fellowship award does not guarantee admission to Harvard. All Knox Fellowship applicants must also apply for admission to the Harvard graduate school of their choice. The awarding of a Knox Fellowship is, therefore, contingent upon the applicant gaining admission to Harvard.
