It supports attendance at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, or another international journalism event chosen by the recipient.

The fellowship combines firsthand exposure to global journalism with professional development and industry connections. Recipients are also invited to Washington, D.C., for the Foundation’s First Amendment Awards and a day of training and networking with industry leaders.
