Common mistake:
Learners often confuse “fellowship” with “internship” and “scholarship.” A fellowship is usually for advanced study or research and often comes after a first degree, while an internship is practical work experience, and a scholarship is mainly money to help pay for regular studies. Also, learners sometimes say *do a fellowship on* instead of the more common *do a fellowship in [field]*.
Meaning
Paid academic or training position
Collocations
apply for a fellowship
|win a fellowship

|teaching fellowship
|postdoctoral fellowship
Synonyms
scholarship (Often used for money to help students study; a fellowship usually also includes a defined role or position, especially at a graduate or professional level.)
Antonyms
unpaid position (Describes work or training without financial support, the opposite of the funded nature of a fellowship.)

Common mistake:
Learners sometimes use “fellowship” as a countable noun in this sense (for example, *many fellowships between us*).

Synonyms
camaraderie (Very close in meaning; often used especially for friendly feeling among people who work or spend a lot of time together.)

Common mistake:
Learners sometimes confuse this group meaning with the emotional sense of fellowship.

Meaning
