I’ve heard fellows get a transportation stipend. How does that work?
This year’s fellows each receive up to $60/month for transportation. This covers the majority of the cost of a SEPTA monthly transpass ($83), or can be used for tokens. The stipend is provided as a reimbursement, so fellows must turn in receipts each month to receive the stipend. Fellows may also exercise the “Philly Fellows Bicycle Clause,” and purchase a bicycle at the beginning of the year (up to $300 in value) at Philly Fellows’ expense, and receive up to $30/month as a transportation stipend.
