OVERVIEW: JSK fellowships bring journalists from across the globe to Stanford for a yearlong immersive program.
IP TAKE: These fellowships support journalists with at least seven years professional experience. Public relations personnel, government employees, and applicants from academic institutions are ineligible.
PROFILE: Stanford University created Journalism Fellowships at Stanford in 1966 and renamed them the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford in 1984 following a $4 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The fellowships program seeks to support “diverse, resilient leaders with collaborative mindsets who are exploring solutions to journalism’s biggest problems in a time of tremendous change. We champion advancements that improve access to the information people need to create and sustain democratic communities.”
JSK fellows are required to attend classes at Stanford and maintain a local residence from September to June. They also participate in JSK activities, and prioritize the fellowship over regular professional work. JSK Fellowships include a $85,000 stipend, and an additional supplement for fellows with children. They also cover the cost of Stanford tuition and health care for fellows, spouses, and children.
The program funds up to 20 fellows a year. View current and past fellows here. Email jskfellowships@stanford.edu with questions. Grant seekers should review the eligibility requirements before applying.
