Description
The Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellowships empower students and recent graduates from Campus Consortium partner institutions—including universities, journalism schools, liberal arts colleges, HBCUs, community colleges, and schools of public health—to undertake independent journalism projects. Fellows receive funding, mentorship, and access to a vibrant network of journalists and resources. Projects may cover a wide range of critical, underreported issues globally or within the U.S., and outputs can include articles, photo essays, video, audio, or data visualizations. Fellowship work is often featured on the Pulitzer Center website and in major news outlets, amplifying stories that drive meaningful change.
