Question: After graduate school for becoming a speech language pathologist, is the clinical year paid? Or is it like an unpaid internship since you are not actually a speech language pathologist yet? Do you pay tuition or any fees for the clinical year? I'm trying to figure out how many years I need to plan on saving for while I'm studying to become an slp.

Answer: The CFY is a paid fellowship. No tuition or fees are paid to anyone, as you will have completed all your academic work and received your degree. I did my CFY at the Veteran's Administration 25 years ago. In those days, the stipend was only $4000 for the entire 9-month, full time fellowship. I'm sure it's more today. Clinical placement in a teaching hospital is the way to go, if you can get one. You'll learn pediatric SLP as well as through the lifespan. Avoid nursing home CFYs. They use you for all they can get from you, and you won't get the broad experience you'll need to be able to switch work settings. You'd be on your own a lot, too; not optimal for a clinical fellow.
