2023 FELLOWSHIP FEES

Urban Adamah is committed to the continued financial accessibility of our Fellowship. Thanks to our program supporters, we are able to offer the Fellowship at a suggested sliding scale of $900 – $4,635. The Fellowship fee covers food, housing, staffing resources, and all program-related expenses for the full program.

The actual cost of the Fellowship is roughly $15,000 per Fellow. To cover these costs, close to 85% is raised from foundations and individuals, about 10% comes from farm visitor fees, and the remaining 5% represents what we ask Fellows to pay. Your contribution will help make it possible for another Fellow to attend. 

Urban Adamah is honored to partner with the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an Urban Indigenous Women-led Trust in the East Bay, and to pay the Shuumi Land Tax in support of the vital work of the Trust. Please note that program costs also help us support our community partners such as Sogorea Te’. 

We honor and acknowledge that Fellows come from a range of class backgrounds. To consider how much you and/or your family can contribute to the Fellowship, we ask that you consider the following chart to guide your thinking. If you feel stuck or confused about how much to pay, please feel free to reach out to fellowship@urbanadamah.org and we can talk it through with you.
