In addition to skill development workshops and a cohort community, CPGC Fellowships support students throughout summer internships with:

• A stipend of $4,000
• Necessary costs to complete the summer experience specific to air travel, accommodations, food, and needed vaccinations, passport or visa fees (Students complete a necessary costs section in their application, supporting determination of necessary costs for the specific fellowship). Please note that proposed necessary costs will be reviewed in the application process. Costs deemed excessive may be reduced or denied.

Taxation

In most cases, your CPGC award will be taxed at U.S. rates. The Controller’s office reports the full amount of your internship award to the IRS because it is considered taxable income. Depending on many factors, you may owe taxes for the year. Please prepare for this by researching, discussing with your family, or if possible, talking to a tax professional: it often comes as a surprise!
