Graduating or renewing?
Participating in summer activities
You can apply to continue the fellowship program to cover summer activities like coursework or internships/employment (or both).
- Coursework: You can continue receiving your monthly stipend during the summer if you are enrolled in a degree program and taking courses towards your degree.
- If the courses are not at your host institution, you'll need to make sure your host institution recognizes the credits and make arrangements to pay the sponsor institution's tuition. la Caixa will only make tuition payments to your host university.
- Fellows in music and film studies can be exempt from the rule of taking credit courses to receive the stipend. Contact us to discuss your options.
- If you are planning to stay at your university during the summer to conduct research, your academic advisor will need to provide a letter of support. This letter should include the start and end dates of your summer research.
- Internships/employment: You can pursue an internship or employment to help further your degree or research objectives. If the position is paid, we'll adjust your monthly stipend amount accordingly. You'll also need to submit an offer of employment letter that meets the following requirements:
- Is on official company letterhead
- Includes the start and end date of employment/internship
- Indicates whether the work will be paid or unpaid, including the amount if paid
Next academic year
You need to indicate your anticipated enrollment plans for next academic year. They do not need to be final at this stage.

Things to remember
- The "la Caixa" fellowship does not cover the cost of travel or lodging expenses related to your summer activities.
- If you are traveling or returning to Spain during the summer, you will not receive your stipend during that period.
- "la Caixa" will pay a maximum of 2 calendar years (24 stipends) or through the month of your graduation, whichever comes first. You are eligible for up to 4 semesters of tuition support during the academic year and tuition support for one summer period. If your fellowship extends beyond 2 academic years, the fellowship will not cover tuition for the second summer.
