Journalists interested in democratic change and advocacy can apply for a residential fellowship program in Washington, D.C. The deadline is November 1, and the fellowship runs for five to ten months depending on fellowship requested and qualified for.
The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program, sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy, gives participants the opportunity to conduct research, build contacts and join a global network of democracy advocates.
The 16 to 20 fellows can choose between two tracks. The Practitioner Track lasts five months and supports activists and journalists. The Scholarly Track lasts up to ten months and is primarily for professors and researchers. Each fellow receives a monthly stipend for living expenses, plus health insurance and reimbursement for travel to and from Washington, D.C., at the beginning and end of the fellowship period. Fellows also receive a fully equipped office and research support through the Forum’s Democracy Resource Center and the Research Associates Program.
