Summer Fellowship FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
For funded Summer 2026 experiences, co-funding between multiple sources of funding is only permitted if the funding jointly supports the same Summer experience (e.g. a single research endeavor with your designated faculty mentor), and if all offices agree to it.
Moreover, students can only be co-funded between opportunities in the same round of funding. The MSI fellowship is a round B opportunity, meaning that MSI fellows can only be co-funded by other round B opportunities. Importantly, your total funding amount will not exceed the amount offered by either individual program.
No, unfortunately MSI does not offer direct housing support as part of this fellowship. Students are encouraged to apply for independent summer housing through the Harvard College Housing Office.
No, financial aid status does not impact funding amounts.
If you have applied for and received an MSI summer fellowship previously, you are welcome to apply again; however, please note that new fellowship applicants may be prioritized.
