ASH Scholar Award Support Information

ASH Scholar Awards are limited to a maximum of $100,000 for Fellow Scholars, $125,000 for the new Fellow to Faculty Scholars, and $150,000 for Junior Faculty Scholars, to be spread evenly over the two- to three-year period of the award. Up to 15 percent of the award can be (but is not required to be) used for benefits, including medical and dental insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits.

All awards are activated on July 1 of the following year. The applicant has the option of concluding the award on June 30, two or three years after activation. All award payments are made on a quarterly basis - the amount depends on whether the award is being spread over two or three years. Payments are made to the appropriate financial officer of the institution as indicated on the proposed budget within the full application.
