Program Cost & Commitment
Time Commitment
We ask Fellows to make an almost full-time commitment to the program for a full academic year, beginning in either August or January. This ensures that each Fellow can fully benefit from and contribute to the community of fellows and the university at large. Classes and scheduled events will require each fellow to be on the UT Austin campus for 20+ hours per week during the academic year.
Program Fees
Program fees for a full academic year are $60,000 for each fellow. A spouse or life partner who also participates as a full-time fellow can do so at the reduced program fee of $45,000.
The program fee covers all classes, official program lunches (1 per week), official program receptions (1 per week), special UT-Austin experiences (2 per month), as well as other program events such as colloquia, symposia, etc. On-campus parking is included. Books, class fees, class materials, tickets for sporting events, tickets for performing arts events, etc. are not included in the tuition.
