On Fellowship Grants and Financial Literacy
Financial literacy is often taught like a drawing class where students learn about the pen and paper needed to draw but are not supplied with those materials in order to practice.
Place Corps offers the materials needed to make financial education real. Place Corps’ Kingston Fellowships offers each fellow both a stipend throughout the program and a financial award at graduation. Each trimester of the program, fellows who have fully engaged with programming and satisfied all participation requirements will receive up to $3,000 grant award at the end of the trimester. Fellows will be responsible for tracking and documenting the use of the funds for costs that serve their education, professional and practical needs along with future goals in order to receive this award. This enhances the financial education that equips fellows with real life skills. Fellows learn to budget, save, and pay bills, while also exploring the possibilities of non-monetary economies like bartering, time banking, lending circles, and more.
