Benefits:
To help Fellows partially offset educational costs related to their year of volunteer service and learning, Horseshoe Farm provides shared housing and utilities free of charge to Fellows (approximate value of $7,200 - $12,000/year, depending on location) and an educational grant/transportation reimbursement (total of $880-$1115/month**) that is intended to help Fellows partially offset other basic living costs and their significant transportation costs related to the Fellowship. Finally, we are able to provide a small relocation grant to each Fellow to help partially offset their costs of moving ($100-$300 depending on distance).
