Deadline: 1 February 2025
The Wallace House Center for Journalists is seeking applications for its Knight-Wallace Fellowship.
Focus Areas
- They award fellowships to U.S. journalists for immersive study projects touching on various areas including education, public policy, sports, health and medicine, technology and news innovation, transportation and environment, and international reporting.
Eligibility Criteria
- Qualified applicants must have a minimum of five years of experience and be currently working in some aspect of journalism for a news organization or as an independent journalist. They are looking for a diverse range of journalists, including reporters, editors, data experts, visual journalists, audio producers, engagement specialists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and organizational change agents.
- If you are not a full-time journalist, the majority of your work should be in journalism. They do not consider full-time academics, public relations writers, internal trade writers, lobbyists, public advocates, or those seeking a degree.
- If you are a U.S. citizen, apply as a U.S. applicant, even if you work in another country or for a non–U.S. journalism entity. If you are not a U.S. citizen, apply as an international applicant, even if you work in the United States or for an American journalism entity. A Green Card is not the same as citizenship.
Selection Criteria
- Great care goes into assembling classes of Fellows that represent a diversity of experience, journalism specialty, geographic region and type and size of news organizations. Typically, up to six international colleagues join ten to twelve U.S. journalists. International finalists are interviewed in January and February to allow time for visa processing after selections are made. U.S. finalists are interviewed in April.
Deadlines
- International journalists: December 1, 2024
- U.S. journalists: February 1, 2025
