The Program awards a limited number of fellowships, which include a full tuition waiver and nine-month stipend. As part of their fellowship, students work for at least two terms as a teaching or research assistant. Appointments are facilitated by the Director of Graduate Studies, and may be available in humanities departments or in other relevant units (such as the Leslie Center for the Humanities, the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning, or Rauner Special Collections Library).

Students not awarded fellowships also work for at least two terms; they are paid per term for assistantship or internship positions (this can range from $800 to $1600/term).
