- Effective November 29, 2023, the fellowship stipend will be $55,505.84 for master's level and $70,905.90 for doctoral level fellows. Effective December 1, 2022, CSTE will no longer be reimbursing health insurance due to the stipend increase to support the cost of fellows’ health insurance premiums.
- The stipend is a fixed non-negotiable amount.
- The stipend is a taxable amount. CSTE assumes no tax liability and will not submit a Form 1099 at the end of the year during the fellow’s training but will provide a summary of earnings for each calendar year. Fellows should seek individual tax advice as necessary from qualified professionals. There will be a Tax Workshop Session during the AEF Orientation that will provide general guidance on income taxes for fellows.
