Kiplinger Fellowships

International Fellowships » Academic Program Grants » Journalism Fellowship

Since 1973, journalists have competed for prestigious Kiplinger Fellowships. In recent years, hundreds of journalists from around the world have applied annually for 20 to 25 slots – positioning the Kiplinger Fellowship among a handful of nationally prominent journalism fellowships.

Kiplinger Fellows typically spend a week in April on Ohio University’s main campus in Athens, where they can engage and learn from the top trainers and leading experts in the field. The highly coveted fellowships provide lodging, most meals and free training – thanks to the generosity of the Kiplinger Foundation and Kiplinger family.

The Kiplinger Fellowship will be held March 19-24 at Ohio University at the Scripps School of Journalism.

This fellowship will focus on 

Covering Political Discourse and Saving Democracy. If you cover politics or government agencies at any level, elections or political extremism, this fellowship is made for you. You must be a working journalist with at least five years of experience and be employed with a media outlet or freelance for one. Students and academics are not eligible. 

Candidate reviews will take place in late November and announcements will be made in mid-December.

Requirements

• If you are a print, broadcast or online journalist with five or more years of experience (here or abroad), you are eligible to become a Kiplinger Fellow.

Benefits

• The fellowship cover all of your training, lodging, meals and some social events. There is a travel stipend available to assist with travel expenses and this will vary depending on your proximity to Ohio and employer arrangements.
