Health Insurance & AAUW/Charlotte Newcombe Dissertation Fellowships

[Oddish_]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently applying for various PhD dissertation fellowships. I've noticed that some fellowships such as the Mellon/ACLS clearly state that they provide money for health insurance. However, other fellowships do not specify this -- specifically, the AAUW Dissertation Fellowship and the Charlotte Newcombe fellowship. Does anyone know if they provide health insurance?

I do not know the answer to your specific question, but you may want to check with your department about health insurance options.  Some departments cover the cost of the student health plan offered at the University for students on dissertation fellowships.

If you pay out-of-pocket for your own health insurance, or for dependents added on to your plan, then then you can mark that as a budget item for the AAUW fellowship. If your institution already provides full covered health insurance (you don't pay any monthly premium) then you don't need to list it as a budget item and the AAUW stipend would be used for other living costs.
