Give a fellow tea, maybe (6)
I believe the answer is:
donate
'give' is the definition.
(I know that donate is a more specific form of the action give)
'a fellow tea maybe' is the wordplay.
'a fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'tea' is an anagram of 'ate'.
'don'+'ate'='DONATE'
(Other definitions for donate that I've seen before include "Fork out" , "Muhammad -, US boxer" , "Contribute (to charity)" , "Contribute charitably" , "give in kindness" .)
