Stipends:
To support their stay at Harvard, Eugene and Daymel Shklar Fellows are provided with a stipend of $3,300.00 per month to cover the cost of housing, health insurance, and other living expenses. In addition to the stipend, the award also covers the cost of direct roundtrip travel to Harvard University.
