Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for a journalism fellowship?
Most fellowships require a resume, examples of published work (clippings), a study proposal or statement of purpose, and reference letters from editors. Applications usually open in the Fall (September-December) for the following academic year.
Are these grants available to freelancers?
Yes. Most grants (like the Pulitzer Center and Earth Journalism Network) are explicitly designed to support freelance writers who have a pitch and a letter of interest/commitment from an editor to publish their work.
