Story Lab Fellows are a group of ambitious, energetic student storytellers and scholars, both undergraduate and graduate, who are a key component of the lab's community. Appointed for one semester (potentially renewable), each fellow receives a stipend of $500, carrel space in the lab, and the opportunity to help program and curate lab events.

The fellows are expected to participate in the life of the lab and to document that life by posting coverage of events on the lab website or social media. The main purpose of the program, though, is to give these students space and support to engage deeply with the forms of storytelling that inspire them. They're encouraged to do work in any storytelling medium, whether it's fiction and the written word or audio or video or something else.
