Is the stipend that Winterthur Fellows receive enough to live on?

Yes, in most cases. Fellows find the stipend manageable for their 22 months of study. The stipend value is based on the cost of living in the Greater Wilmington Area, and generally covers room and board. Fellows can maximize their stipend through cost-saving measures, such as living with roommates rather than living alone and carpooling. Fellows often carpool to and from Winterthur, especially during Summer Institute and to and from shared classes at the University of Delaware. Carpooling also reduces parking expense at the University. Additionally, there are many generous supplementary funding opportunities available to Winterthur Fellows, which fund thesis research expenses, conference attendance, presentation travel, and educational opportunities outside of the curriculum. Fellows are made aware of these funding sources and application requirements by Program staff and faculty each year.
