So.. I'm a little confused on how this is different from a college with a co-op programme (at least in that, students get paid) - and moreover I genuinely am a bit turned off by the fact that the "fellowship" is unpaid. That really kind of makes no sense to me - it's emphasised elsewhere on this thread by Lambda staff that the fellows will be able to contribute to the company. However, they are not being paid. Like, I'm unable to wrap my head around this - it's a fundamental rule of economics - you render a service for someone and you get paid in return..
