Host FAQs Where can I learn more about hosting a TBB Fellow? Our Host Informational Session took place on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024 from 1-2pm. Link to Slides Is there a maximum number of fellows that departments/units can have? It will depend on how many students apply and how many fellows your department/unit want to accept and can provide funding for. In previous years, departments/units have accepted between 1-3 fellows. Is the host a single person or department/unit? The host is the person who will be working with the student the most, and that can be anyone in the unit/department (doesn’t have to be a faculty member or the head of the department/unit). You’ll see on the application that we ask for Department/Unit and also Host/Mentor so we are aware of both. Would we be sponsoring a student from our own unit/department, or hosting a student from an applicant pool? You will be hosting a student from an applicant pool. Once the list of approved opportunities is finalized, students will submit their applications for opportunities they are interested in. The Host/Mentor will be able to interview students and select the student(s) they would like to work with. What would deem a student eligible to be a fellow? Students must meet the general eligibility criteria to participate in the fellowship. As for the selection process, it would depend on what each host is looking for and what experience would be helpful to have for the tasks/project. We welcome students with a variety of experiences to apply. Our main goal is to connect students who may otherwise not be able to gain experiential learning and professional development experiences within units on campus and for this to be a great experience for both the host and the fellow. What does "guiding a student through a yearlong project" entail, exactly? This means providing the student proper guidance for them to be successful in the process of completing their project. It may look different depending on what the project entails (training, etc.). We would also like the host/mentor to meet with the fellow once a week or once every other week (whichever makes the most sense), to see how they are doing in general and for them to feel supported in their project. Could existing team projects associated with a program or course be used for this fellowship? Yes, existing team projects can definitely be used for the fellowship. For these projects, we welcome flexibility and adaptation that meets your needs and those of your fellow(s). How is the scholarship provided to fellows? The TBB Fellowship Coordinator will send out communication prior to the anticipated scholarship disbursal dates. Fellows receive their funding through their financial aid packages. Hosts are asked to either: 1) directly disburse their portion of the scholarship through their own departmental awards process or 2) provide a chartstring number to the TBB Fellowship Coordinator that can be used to process the scholarship. The application priority deadline has passed, but I am still interested in hosting a fellow. Can I still apply? Yes, we encourage you to still apply! Our program has the flexibility to open new fellowship positions throughout the academic year.
