Boston Principal Fellows receive a stipend (amount to be announced) during the fellowship year. In accepting the stipend, Fellows agree to work in the Boston Public Schools for three years after completing the fellowship.

Fellows pay a one-time fee of approximately $500 to cover the cost of books and materials associated with the fellowship coursework.
