Description

Applications are now open for the Higher Education Media Fellowship. This Fellowship aims to increase the number of journalists with the tools and networks to provide richer and more comprehensive coverage of postsecondary education, particularly career and technical education (CTE).

The HEM Fellowship is open to all U.S. journalists who are education, business, investigative, or workforce beat reporters or have work experience that includes reporting on education and associated work force development, social, or public policy issues. Potential Fellows will be early- and mid-career journalists working in any type of media. 
 
Selected Fellows are awarded $10,000—$5,000 as a stipend and $5,000 towards a postsecondary CTE reporting project.

The application deadline is August 5, 2022.
Questions may be directed to CTEMedia@citizensandscholars.org

Requirements

The six-month, non-residential program begins with an expense-paid CTE symposium where Fellows are paired with a mentor. Following the symposium, Fellows must complete a reporting project, such as a special report or series. Additional professional development funding and opportunities are available to Fellows.
