The Phillips Foundation in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to advancing the cause of objective journalism. The foundation’s Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program seeks to support journalists who share the foundation’s mission to advance constitutional principles, a democratic society, and a vibrant free-enterprise system. The fellowship program is supported by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. Fellowship recipients will undertake a one-year project of their choosing focused on journalism supportive of American culture and a free society. In addition, there are separate fellowships on the environment, the benefits of free-market competition, and law enforcement.
Working journalists with less than ten years of professional experience in print or online journalism are eligible to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
The foundation awards $50,000 full-time and $25,000 part-time fellowships. Full-time fellowship winners are expected to devote their energies to the one-year fellowship and should not be employed elsewhere. Part-time fellowship winners may continue employment during the term of their one-year fellowship. The fellowships begin on September 1, 2011.
